Death, A city underwater, Souls released~ |
Lo! Death droned thro' the town, As the incubus waves continually increas'd- All of the people slowly began to drown, And the pernicious winds, no longer ceased— The frail bodies, plunged under atrocious waves- Whilst the water hastily began to arise- The poor unfortunate souls, unable to be saved, Nor able to hear their shrieks or cries— The murky water, a deep crimson; From all of the horrid bloodshed- Hundreds of people, missing, Lain on the ocean floor, dead— Alas, the stench of acrid flesh roamed about Up above the waves, into the pure clouds- Rays from the Heavens, began gliding down; And cadavers piled underwater, in a crowd— Once a fair, and stately land, Now an inhumed cemetery under water- Murdered by nature's beguiling hand, Nature, being a necromancer's slaughter— The aphotic water, a gaping grave; Yet the seraphs begin to beckon- Along came the final wave, Whilst the souls arose to Heaven— Gossamer rays, shone from above, Whilst the evanescent souls are alas released- And the pure, white majestic doves, Finally, hath been set free— "In Pace, Requiscat- Mare Tenebrarum" |
