Night falls

Burning pyres

Casting ghosts in the sky

Blood boils

The stench of death

A cruel reminder of destiny

Mass graves for remains of the infected

Black waves wash the ashes from the sand

We’ll find a way to carry on

Through fields of carrion

This plague may one day bury us all

Smoldering

In quarantine

Survival through isolation

The cold wind

Is whispering

Prayers of desperation

Mass graves for the remains of the infected

Black waves wash the ashes from the sand

We’ll find a way to carry on

Through fields of carrion

This plague may one day bury us all

Inhale the darkness of this blistering scourge

Bleed from within as the virus begins

Consuming your flesh while your spirit is purged

Armor and vests and shelters protect

From the trappings of war

But there’s no defense

For advanced pestilence

A bulletproof swarm

I retch on the taste of blood

Fall to my knees with a sickening thud

I die, fire in my lungs

A feeble goodbye drifts from the tongue

We’ll find a way to carry on

Through fields of carrion

This plague may one day bury us all

And when the reaper comes for me

I'll die with dignity

No wasted tears no sympathy

The last bells crack the sky

Steadfast in the face of death

A plague born of unnatural design

Steadfast in the face of death
