Shadows Revenge - Sabbath Assembly

A ghastly shadow on a path

Retracing relics of the old

Former happiness in shapes

Of tombs that stood here long ago

Barren, gnarled and terrible trees

That crest the sky and drape the moon

Entangled web and fallen leaves

Are cut among misshapen weeds

Thorns grasp the surface

And gnaw into skin

I’m pierced by a hundred wounds

Meager offerings

Of blood and bone are shed

A starlit night of woe

Looming overhead

Earth and stone upon the hill

The headlands form a hearth

Ancient sounds begin

A siren song alluring forth

As the pilgrimage unfolds

Nothing more to give or take

The secrets of the flesh disclose

Atonement in blood

Kaleidoscopic

Vortex of phantasmal

Images rising in smoke

Witchfire glowing

Behind broken faces

Shrouded and festooned

Into monstrous shapes

Disbelief in wide eyes

Grim is the scene

Reprieve will not come

Forever meek

Shadow’s been cast now

Left to weep

Whats drawn can’t

Be undone

Can’t be unseen

Blissful and blinded

The mind and the maddening

Sanity diminish

In smoke
