When the innocent fall
down to the earth
shedding down childish tears

they scream out to those they've lost,
"why did you have to go,
why did you leave me all alone?!"

Nothing to do
no one new
boredom devours
minutes turn to hours

Frustrating me
why cant you see
how could it be
that i cannot flee...

Ashes from your fire
drift to all who desire
flames dispersing all around
burned me till I drowned...

Hide and seek
with the mind in me
cant you fucking see
I will never be free,

Around I go
with time to blow
lost and forgotten
I begin to rotten,

Nothing left to find
as I flee my endless confine
to the land of the sublime,
leaving behind this earthly body of mine...

Around they go without a soul
as they take the city whole
around they go out of control
blood spills now forever to flow...

The body of the deceased
on it's death bed it lays
the air reeks as it begins to decay
causing the evidence of murder to fade,

No rest for the dearly departed
as long as the crime stays unreported,
maggots begin feeding on the flesh
the body rots, ceasing to be fresh,

Now the bone is stripped of skin
completely consumed of its exterior
revenge begins to spread within
it reanimates to devour it's killer's interior...

As these few words
capture your attention
confusion devours all your comprehension,
your mind lays trapped
forever in another dimension...

I scream up to you sky
send us your tears
Let them wash away
our dreadful fears
cleanse the worlds filth till it disappears
and let hope bloom for many more years...

Calling all the used, beaten and broken
today we march to the front lines
leaving behind the fear they have awoken
as we break free from all their lies,

No more will we stand your constant abuse
for we are strong and have nothing left to lose
so heed this warning before you let loose
our rage that will leave more than just a bruise...

Zombies running and playing
outside they chase down meals
as we all hide from their slaying
they become our worst fears...

Dreams of you
nothing but pain
is all I feel
when I awake

Loathing the love
you make me feel
torturing me with
dreams that feel so real...

Black figures appear before me
their darkness creeping towards me
shadowy apparitions is all I see,

Are they creations of my imagination; like a hallucination?
or is it all real and it's just been hidden from the population.

They have devoured half of the room
their essence now leaking drops of doom
and in me fear starts to bloom,

Terror spreads through the air
injecting me without a warning or a care
trying so hard not to give into despair.

they surround me, darkness ready to engulf me
fear builds up but part of me is as calm as can be
they're inches away and I freeze up and I can’t break free
but I notice something just before they reach me
a chest with something written on it, I squint and try to see,

"There is darkness so rare and powerful we serve to protect it so we conceal
this chest that contains the power to awaken and yield
the inner darkness within the chosen and is only to be revealed
to those that complete the transition to have the ability to turn into one of the true forms of Fear"

I barely finish reading when i feel the first cold rush of air
I wonder if I’m one of the chosen, then another cold blast hits and messes with my hair
painful chills running up and down my spine and I can’t take it anymore, I shout and swear
then darkness engulfs me and after a couple seconds I stop struggling, I’m floating midair

I'm floating and I lose myself, slowly giving in
still in the back of my mind I fear for my sanity
no pain yet but waiting for it is almost as bad and I'm slowly being driven
to the end of my patience and I can’t take it anymore, I'm so close to the edge of insanity
that’s when the heat burns my insides; my mouth opens automatically spewing out profanity.

The heat keeps on burning and I'm just screaming, wondering how long till the end
no longer swearing because it’s worse now all I can do is shout but I can no longer pretend
and I just wish I’d die already but then I feel a shift and finally the burning starts to descend
I'm wondering how bad I must look all burnt but as I open my eyes I begin to comprehend
I'm staring at the shadows that I feared not so long ago but now that transcend

Still shrouded by darkness but now I see past that, I see how peaceful looking they really are
They smile at me and I do too and it doesn't feel awkward at all, I think about scratch and scar
I remember burning pain and ask them what happened to me, slightly raising my voice a bar

Movement catches my eye as the one with the chest appears before me
their angelic beauty now easier for me to see
His gaze now upon me, I wonder how he came to be

"The darkness in you that laid dormant is now awake
It spread burning through your body like a snake
Testing your strength by seeing how much you can take
At the end you completed and accepted your fate."

While he answered and explained my excruciating pain
concentration becoming difficult to maintain
His voice sending shivers through me driving me insane
Tremors that I can no longer mask or refrain,

He continues on with his explanation,
"You are Fear reincarnated through transformation.
Chosen to complete its personification."
Trying so hard to maintain my concentration
While wondering if I've become a damnation

I ask, " why me, why now?"
He answers, "its your destiny and you were now ready to complete the vow,
fill others with fear and continuing to endow"

I respond, "does that make me evil, is it in my blood?"
He says, "this is what you were meant to be, to spread fear like a flood"
His answer freezing me, my veins filling with cold blood.

"So my duty is to disperse fear?" I say,
"yes because fear gets rid of the decay,
the weak who don't deserve another day."

"This darkness is yours to empower,
As I now bestow you with this infinite power."
He opens the chest and a blinding light erupts and surrounds me as I cower

Once the light is gone and I can open my eyes
something in me awakened by the light, starts to arise.
Suddenly this amazing energy erupts and flies
Through my veins filling me with joyful cries

As the newly awakened darkness surges through me igniting my skin,
I'm feeling invincible as Fear's power grows within.
The venom flowing in my veins causes others to sin,
As I snap out of it's amazing trance with a mischievous grin.

Finally realizing what I'm meant to be,
I now accept what was destined for me.
"I embrace you Fear and now I harbor thee,
Spreading darkness to those who try to flee."

Awakened by whispered thoughts
Fog cloaks your memory's clock
A wrestle within you ensues
Searching for times key to unlock

We who detest our mirrored sights
Purge through days hours time
Struggling to end these daily fights
We stop to reverse our latest crime

Now we stand content
Ready for the next battle to commence
Repeating our daily routine
Always hoping for the end and
to float away and be free.

Her ghost haunts
My dark dreams
I'm lost in thought
When she finally speaks
"Your killing yourself,
can't you fucking see?!"
I scream back
"I know but I just can't leave!"

Inhaling your essence
I can feel you floating
Flowing through my veins
Mingling with my blood
Intoxicating my mind
Rushing through like a flood
Your venom leaving me blind...

Silent screams to calm the nerves
Release the demons with no horns
That thrash between skin and bones

We gather and form the line
Enduring the frozen weather
We await hungry for a sign

Finally released to find our seats
We sit now starved for the flames
As the anticipation and excitement competes
For the start of the wicked games...

Lost and broken
laying on this floor
cold and solid
screaming through metal doors

Soulless and brainwashed
locked and restrained
never to get out
forever drowning in pain.

As,
my mind races too fast
my body begins to tremble
with memories from the past
causing my control to disassemble

Finally,
I give into it and now I'm fighting to stay sane
as its sweet venom runs through my veins
slowly numbing my desire and pain

Now,
electrifying power surges through me
as the venom devours my every inch
leaving me joyful and happy as can be...
