Waking Nightmare and Decaying Keep

WAKING NIGHTMARE:

Waking from the nightmare

Down to one knee

a bloody knight

darkened blight

far as he can see

of sundered sword

and shattered helm

bleeding into his eyes

he charges forth

prepared

to leave this realm

with final breath

he takes knife thrust

deep into his heart

a smile upon his lips

as he doth depart

a final

whispered warning

is all he leaves behind

beware the beast

my brother

for on this world

he shall feast

DECAYING KEEP:

switch and slash

pray thy blade stay true

crossed thine wrists

torn 'crossed throat

a river of blood

'round me like a moat

my body, a decrepit decay

a keep where

none dare sleep

and empty heart

sits as vacant throne

a hallow beat

a dreadful sound

in it I will surely drown
