armageddon

armageddon

the time arrives to see the devils shiver in the heat of hell
to hear of angles gnashing wails in the grandeur of heaven
deep in a soul the gathering evils released from their cell
helpless humans fight and flail over the taken or the given
the beast awaits in the mirror as the broken glass is falling
on another morning to awaken doubt disbelief and disgrace
hope for the image to be clearer a distant night still calling
as memory leaves love forsaken hiding in the masked face
connection has been interrupted the mind filled with static
lost among the empty spaces wander in complete confusion
within a stench of spirits corrupted each negative automatic
no need to pray pause or ponder to dive into the lit illusion
a point of no beginning nor end as ghosts moan in mourning
with no more compassion to spend amidst the all adorning
