The Darkness Comes, Revelation Part One
The sky opened to a new cascade
a revolution in discord came down
Crystals shattered then remade
all cried, even the jolly clown
A great sword cut all the land
spirits rush forth in dark display
Only the strong took a stand
so easily were they swept away
What difference was death and life
earth had no meaningful replies
Each cut with twist of the knife
sent more pain before victim dies
Revelation,time had now brought on
this blackness seeped in sin
Pain lay under every unturned stone
cursed , were the souls of men
Angel of vengeance then rode forth
fire blazing from his dark eyes
This the prophecy of the far North
of plagues falling from the skies
Dying swiftly became a new relief
disease came forth in each wave
Useless were these pagan beliefs
only sweet death now could save
Yet far worse loomed just ahead
greater misery on a train was there
Such that was better off to be dead
torment spread and ruled everywhere
Down roaring tracks the evil a'coming
echoes sounded of the deepest of doom
Futile those that set out a'running
for darkness found every known room
Robert Lindley
August, 1989
