Darkness & Light

Darkness & Light


In these dark times 

Keep your faith



As

Some Antenoraians


In hidden

Silence


Gather to

Pray for violence


In uneven lines


With Caiphas

The dark priest


In the Lost City of Dis

In The Far East


For the world

To taste


A Malebolge sour kiss


The Sowers of Scandal 

As their many 

Followers


Of the Three-Headed Beast


Soon to be

Living by The Great Lake of Cocytus


The gateway to a soulless Judecca


The dark wells of fire and ice


To be with their God

Who pays with cursed gold


In the form of all you desire


Only to entrap those into sin


To burn in the eternal fire

As the Great Battle

Continues 


Into eternity


As angels

Of Light


Led by Archangel Michael   


Slowly 

Win


In long nights


Keep your faith

As the Darkness

Crusades


Will soon

Fade
