Profound Darkness

We are afflicted, unworthy of conscious thought Our hopes they wish to extinguish In but a moment our world is swallowed by shadows While they thrive in the light Euphoric screams, soon to be drowned in agony Within the silence, spewing animosity Our voices will be heard Gathering our strength, we no longer feel restraint From darkness we will rise Hostility; declension turns to victory Our former adversaries become our new allies United, we arise For as the light was taken, so were the rules of peace Their downfall they’ve demanded Too long we’ve been the victims Crushed beneath their excess Deaf to our acrimony Nevermore unnoticed From deep within the mire We will draw our power Our hearts so deeply blackened Beating pure ichor Our strength will be their weakness Unified in hatred With faith at our disposal Praise the insurrection Our judgment will be final Overwhelming vengeance Atop the world we’ll stand Witness our ascension We will reclaim the world they’ve taken from beneath The waning moon, arisen, serves as a flare of hope A beacon for our vengeance For those that we are haunting, it will be a grim pharos Illuminating their defeat
