Seething

The violent boil in a river of blood

Blistered skin, disfigured faces

Seared flesh

Pulled from bone by the ruby tide

Hooves on the banks

Ten thousand beasts

Bolts rain down

On the flailing wraiths

Woe for the warlords

Misery for murderers

Unforgiving is the Blade of Justice

The helicoid corridor loops on itself

Southward the current flows

A crimson ring encircling the dismal wood

Demi-human screams

Winged banshees swoop and dive

Between the onyx leaves

Rabid mongrels weave

Through noxious briars

And twisted trees

Press your ear against the mangled skin

Hear the murmuring from within

Suicides shed their bodies for eternity

Rip the bark from off the limb

The sanguine resin seeps upon the soil

Anchoring their serpentine roots

Bleed

Violence and hate

The inward facing blade

Here hang your noose upon the boughs

Choke

On violence and hate

The outward shining scorn

Here hang your shell amongst the thorns

And then beyond the fringe of the forest

A chasm in the sky

A torrent of flames upon the molten earth

Spit upon the face of God
