Death Desolation and Despair -

Fear!

A blackness is upon us

In holy books inscribed

The signs are now becoming clear

Infect!

The frail heart of man

Unable to withstand

The sickness that infects us all, from within

Death, desolation and despair

Fear!

The epidemic spreads

The rising count of dead

Far and wide a fear it grips the world

Infest!

The soul of humankind

You see it in their eyes,

Disease infesting body and soul before they die

The streets are now deserted

The wind it now blows cold

There is no sanctuary

In a kingdom without hope

Will this come to pass

Just like days of old

Or is there some force evil

Lurking in the shadows

I see a man fallen in the street

His skin has begun to corrode

Eyes that speak of pain and sorrow

A darkness infecting his very soul

His pulse starts racing fast

Gasping for air, he chokes

His trembling body shudders

To his dear life he holds

His bloody, trembling hands

He tries to fight the cold

The disease has now run its course

He lies, a mass of flesh and bone

The houses in the street

Their doors are bolted shut

But death still grips them all

There is nowhere to run

The infection is spreading

Rising, the death toll

Humanity is weakening

To a force unknown
