The Hound
In shadows deep, where ancient horrors loom,
There dwells a beast from night’s eternal gloom.
A presence felt, in whispers darkly spawned,
It roams the void, with sanity foregone.
‘Neath moonless skies, its footsteps softly tread,
A harbinger of fear, and boundless dread.
Its eyes, two pools of malevolent light,
Pierce through the veil of everlasting night.
The ancient tombs, where secrets dark abide,
Hide not from it, this terror they provide.
Unearthly howls, like whispers from the grave,
Echo in minds, where reason cannot...
There dwells a beast from night’s eternal gloom.

Pierce through the veil of everlasting night.

That Which Guards What Cannot Be Reclaimed
In Eden's gate, where once pure bliss did reign,
Now stands a guard, with visage fierce and plain.
Archangel Gabriel, with sword of flame,
Doth bar the path, where none may stake their claim.
His eyes, like stars, with piercing light doth gleam,
And none may pass, nor even dare to dream.
The sword he wields, in fire’s eternal blaze,
Cuts through the night, in bright and deadly haze.
A sacred charge, this garden to defend,
From mortal hands that seek their fall to mend.
Yet dark it seems, this hallowed, guarded place, ...
Now stands a guard, with visage fierce and plain.
Archangel Gabriel, with sword of flame,
Doth bar the path, where none may stake their claim.
His eyes, like stars, with piercing light doth gleam,
And none may pass, nor even dare to dream.
The sword he wields, in fire’s eternal blaze,
Cuts through the night, in bright and deadly haze.
A sacred charge, this garden to defend,
From mortal hands that seek their fall to mend.
Yet dark it seems, this hallowed, guarded place, ...

Dueling Mist
In misty veil, 'neath moon's pale glow,
Two duelists face where shadows grow.
Their sabres gleam with cold, sharp light,
Preparing for a fateful fight.
The fog, a shroud both thick and white,
Enfolds the night in eerie blight.
Yet in this gloom, the spirits glide,
Their ghostly forms drift side by side.
Eyes of spectres, hollow, cold,
Bear witness to the scene unfold.
Their whispered sighs, a chilling breath,
Foretell the clash of life and death.
Blades clash with a metallic ring,
A dance of death their weapons...

Foretell the clash of life and death.
Blades clash with a metallic ring,

Of Angels And Ice
Where art thou, glistening ice,
Who doth frame wings beating thrive,
Emissary of the celestial,
Where empire and angels revive?
Grant thy servants heavenly fire
Of this dead world's eternal snow.
Pray tell when the end time may show,
Seek the final march on Armageddon's field,
Adorned in the glistening light of faith's shield.
Prayers offered like sacrifice in the winter wind,
Cold whisper of the dragon tempts towards sin,
To collect the wage of wickedness paid in...
Who doth frame wings beating thrive,
Emissary of the celestial,
Where empire and angels revive?
Grant thy servants heavenly fire
Of this dead world's eternal snow.
Pray tell when the end time may show,
Seek the final march on Armageddon's field,
Adorned in the glistening light of faith's shield.
Prayers offered like sacrifice in the winter wind,
Cold whisper of the dragon tempts towards sin,
To collect the wage of wickedness paid in...

The Dark Between Hells
In realms 'twixt hells where shadows deep do dwell,
A place forsaken, ne'er by light adorned,
There lies a darkness darker than e'en Hell,
Where souls lament, by Heaven's grace forsworn.
No fiery pit, nor brimstone's searing flare,
But void eternal, still and void of sound,
Where echoes of despair do fill the air,
And restless spirits wander, lost, unbound.
In this abyss, 'twixt realms of doom and sin,
No hope doth shine, nor mercy doth descend,
For here the damned, their endless...
A place forsaken, ne'er by light adorned,

Where souls lament, by Heaven's grace forsworn.
No fiery pit, nor brimstone's searing flare,
But void eternal, still and void of sound,
Where echoes of despair do fill the air,
And restless spirits wander, lost, unbound.

Eyes of The Baltic
In the hush of a Baltic night
A grim forecast this blight
it stands so tall
A shadowy figure within the hall
Its eyes, unseen, burn with a glare
A presence felt, an icy stare
Wind howls through ancient trees
Carrying whispers on ghostly breeze
The moon, a pallid, distant light,
Struggles to pierce the endless night
Silent footsteps, echoing faint,
Whispering fears that words can’t paint
An aura thick with dread and gloom,
A phantom lurking in the room...

Silent footsteps, echoing faint,

Iron Fists and Snowy Fields
Around the visor falls the snow
Their elan now begins to show
The black cross against the white
A thousand of the empire's knights
To the borderlands they dash
Swords drawn in the light flash
A yard of good Prussian steel
Here the enemy will die or kneel
Steel gauntlets grasp the reins
Ignoring the blood and pain
The ground watered with pagan blood
Corpses fall into the icy mud
Vengeance of the Lord
Incarnate by a stream of swords
Judgement on the snowy fields
Leather and steel leave none to yield
Their elan now begins to show
The black cross against the white
A thousand of the empire's knights
To the borderlands they dash
Swords drawn in the light flash
A yard of good Prussian steel
Here the enemy will die or kneel
Steel gauntlets grasp the reins
Ignoring the blood and pain
The ground watered with pagan blood
Corpses fall into the icy mud
Vengeance of the Lord
Incarnate by a stream of swords
Judgement on the snowy fields
Leather and steel leave none to yield

Symphonies of A Ruinous Age
Amongst the bones of yesterday
Now only the shadows play
Marbled halls caked in dust
Death born from misplaced trust
Once all proud and bright
Now strewn with bones in eternal night
Mad laughter still fills the air
What horrors are in their lair
Prowling amongst bloody thrones
Grins of rotting flesh and broken bone
Stay where the grass stays green
Avoid the unnatural sheen
The rot of which only the dead dare
Of this dying land beware
Now only the shadows play
Marbled halls caked in dust
Death born from misplaced trust
Once all proud and bright
Now strewn with bones in eternal night
Mad laughter still fills the air
What horrors are in their lair
Prowling amongst bloody thrones
Grins of rotting flesh and broken bone
Stay where the grass stays green
Avoid the unnatural sheen
The rot of which only the dead dare
Of this dying land beware

A demon's mirth
In shadowy depths of a forgotten realm
A demon lurks, with laughter at the helm
Its ghoulish voice, an eldritch sound
A chilling laughter that echoes around
From a place beyond, this fiend has come
A being of malice, with a will to harm
It chuckles and cackles, with each passing hour
Its malevolent humor, a dread-inspiring power
The demon's laughter, a maddening tune
Infects the mind, and corrupts the room
A harbinger of doom, it portends ill fate
A sign of horror, a...

Watchers
From shadows they watch, their faces unknown
Eyes fixed on me, in silence they've shown
I hear not a whisper, nor catch a breath
Yet I feel their gaze, as if touched by death
Are they phantoms or figments of my mind?
I try to escape, but no refuge can find
Their spectral presence, a haunting sight
Fills me with fear and paralyzing fright
In vain, I search for a place to hide
But their spectral forms, won't be denied
Their vigilance, unyielding and sure
Leaves me alone,...

Fills me with fear and paralyzing fright
In vain, I search for a place to hide
But their spectral forms, won't be denied

Joy of Spring
A knight rode through the fields of green
In springtime, with nature's beauty seen
His armor glinted in the sun
As he rode with pride his quest begun
The air was filled with the scent of blooms
Riding through the forests and dunes
He sought adventure and chivalrous deeds
A heart full of honor and a spirit that leads
For the knight knew that his duty was true
To protect the land and the people too
So he rode through the day and into the night
With a steadfast...

For the knight knew that his duty was true

Hunting From Corners And Angles
Between time a frightful beast is found
Unknowns whose mere mention astounds
Not of earth, but of angles acute
Their raging hunger absolute
Pursue their prey through time and space
Not here yet all over the place
Bodies of ebon bone, eyes of crimson flame
Leeking cracks of reality, their power untame
Cross their path are doomed to be devoured,
They leave nothing but decay and air soured
Beasts not of flesh nor bound by mortal laws
Existence seemingly without cause ...
