DECET DIABOLUS PRINCEPS

She lays on a carpet of freshly fallen snow,  
Pale skin matches the frostiness around her.  
Raven hair splayed out on the ground,  
For her the fairytale is now over.  
 
Her existence in visions  
Have left me blinded  
By her gleam.  
She once was sleeping  
A beauty under the spell  
Of living death.  
But too soon it was over  
For she could not last  
The dreadful winters.  
 
The saints have slain  
Those in the rain,  
Left behind.  
The Princes have gone,  
She left the pawns  
All used up.  
Fantastical creatures  
No longer featured  
On her bosom.

The beast lays in a pool of warm fresh blood,  
His last great howl had turned to a shriek.  
The last of his faltering visions is of  
A fair skinned beauty dripping with gore.  
 
Stain the snow white  
With gobbets of flesh.  
Foolish lovers  
That crave her touch,  
A prize to be had  
Is not so.  
Unholy sacrifice  
To appease the thing  
Within.  
 
Beast under the moon,  
Witchcraft in the gloom,  
A demon spawn.  
Goddess of the slaughter  
Walking on the water,  
Gothic fairytale.  
Utter wickedness  
Let loose from the pits,  
She wants more.

In time she has laid claim many a name  
To always spread her fame.  
Holding her chalice to always fill it  
There was all for her to gain,  
A fairytale of rending flames.  
But her first title is that of Lillith.  
 
When all the charming princes have fallen  
They can still her singing calling,  
To haunt them all in the afterlife.  
On their kingly knees they were crawling  
To Lady Lillith, one of the Fallen,  
The dark angel of the night.  
 
Time begins to wane  
The closing of the game,  
She had her fun.  
Many midnight calls  
Fantasy by the falls  
Of godless splendors.  
Even with her dark magic  
It has grown oh so tragic  
With no princes left.
