seraphic carrion

rats feast on angel wings

mosquitoes drinking ether

from veins of divine beings

and the green swamp water

reflects the harpy singing

in skeletal nest above

the pestilential feeding

our steeds are rotten from the ages

but we near you with every step

a beating far away, yet strong

do you hear the gallop?

the tree of life is severed

from its earthen roots

skulls of battle trampled

by a galloping of hooves

insects ravage corpses

leaving maggots in their place

may famine take the world

and make a swamp of every lake

the thundering hooves

of a grand evil

into the field of battle

ancient hatred

armoured and armed

the distant galloping of dusk's cavalry

our banners raised

into the night

10,000 spears

ready to thrust

forever sworn to the plague

and the blight

we are the cavalry of dusk

ascending the mountain of darkness

on the back of my destrier

armoured in the blackest of steel

dusk’s cavalry rides
