'Round the church yard tombs
sat the coiled serpents
smoking cigarettes...and giggling all the while
cold angel statues weeping in the distant mist
watching whilst the serpents crawl
with wings of burning fire
Their little catholic mini-skirts
hardly hide the pentagrams
tattooed like a black scar 'pon the milky thighs...
numbers of the beast..are born upon the right hand
crosses worn like daggers
when the crucible is nigh
their hellish throes of laughter
do not thrive or echo here
but soak instead into the deadened
silence of the tombs
and when the moons creeping through
the dying trees you'll find them here
waiting for their lord again
for He is coming soon
smoke a cigarette and giggle
He is coming soon
burning wings of fire
O' ...He is coming soon
crosses worn like daggers
underneath a bloody moon
smoke your cigarettes 'n' giggle
He is coming soon

...what an awesome write! I dont know what it was about this, but I think the atmosphere was well done and the storytelling kept me interested throughout. It sounded very unique, and was told quite well. An interesting post you have here, well done. |

doug .. your author's note is perfect! Definitely something wicked!!
The descriptions and setting you've created are undeniably eerie. A perfect
blend of darkness and intrigue. Exactly how and where I would expect the
antichrist to appear. Exceptional usage of the language, doug. You do dark
writes a great justice! :)
