Grim distant shadows Tower the horizon Abandoned temples Desolate concrete virtue Black angels gracefully glide Above the spires' pride Altars once swarmed In prayers of forsaken saints Cathedrals of rapture Cold dark sculpture Embedded in silence Majestic capitol Darkness has fallen Transformed to the raven's realm Into the raven's realm Celestial gathering Claws of piety clenching souls Celestial cleansing Claws of piety clenching flesh Storms of fire A blaze across the lands Twisting fane of wizardry Profane sculpted entity Celestial chanting Claws of piety clenching icons Grim distant shadows Tower the horizon Encased in ceremonial whisper Trapped by an ancient prayer Trapped in a serpent's lair"
