if you are quite still
you can almost hear
the sound of machines

of fear
of chaos
of hell

voices in his head
telling him to ****
and by force of will
to build
an empire of the dead

sacrifice it all
this time no one wins
even those left standing when
the dominoes fall

life is a candle
in the hand of a madman
and if you are still you can
feel the Earth tremble
