The Devil Has No Mercy
The days roll slowly past
Like a wave receding from the shore
An ominous cloud of the past hovers above
Pounding gloominess to all
No hope for today
The dreams of tomorrow
Diminishing
The anger rising like a bubble boils out any beauty
I have eyes, but I only see darkness
I have ears, but hear terror
I have a brain, but I know only the surrounding malice
I have a heart, but the shattered pieces are stained with a dark shade of evil.
Will somebody help me?
Will someone help me?
A bony claw steals the last sputtering breath
Then I die
