Lost in ashes
Night arrives
In its sultry starry splendor
Sleeping giant stirs
With suffering to render
Fortress for the forgotten
Lies beneath gilded soil
Awakened with sorrows dreams
Enticing dead blood to boil
From cracking earth
He does rise
Bringing shrieks of madness
And merciful melancholy cries
Displeased gods
Exacting their vengance
Bringing a quick end
To unwanted tenants
Rivers rage with fire
While toxic fume gnashes
Island nightmare unleashed
Paradise lost in ashes
In its sultry starry splendor
Sleeping giant stirs
With suffering to render
Fortress for the forgotten
Lies beneath gilded soil
Awakened with sorrows dreams
Enticing dead blood to boil
From cracking earth
He does rise
Bringing shrieks of madness
And merciful melancholy cries
Displeased gods
Exacting their vengance
Bringing a quick end
To unwanted tenants
Rivers rage with fire
While toxic fume gnashes
Island nightmare unleashed
Paradise lost in ashes

I like how you use the slow build and progress into devastation, well penned. Keith
