'Round the church yard tombs

sat the coiled serpents

smoking cigarettes...and giggling all the while

cold angel statues weeping in the distant mist

watching whilst the serpents crawl

with wings of burning fire

Their little catholic mini-skirts

hardly hide the pentagrams

tattooed like a black scar 'pon the milky thighs...

numbers of the beast..are born upon the right hand

crosses worn like daggers

when the crucible is nigh

their hellish throes of laughter

do not thrive or echo here

but soak instead into the deadened

silence of the tombs

and when the moons creeping through

the dying trees you'll find them here

waiting for their lord again

for He is coming soon

smoke a cigarette and giggle

He is coming soon

burning wings of fire

O' ...He is coming soon

crosses worn like daggers

underneath a bloody moon

smoke your cigarettes 'n' giggle

He is coming soon

...what an awesome write! I dont know what it was about this, but I think the atmosphere was well done and the storytelling kept me interested throughout. It sounded very unique, and was told quite well. An interesting post you have here, well done.

doug .. your author's note is perfect! Definitely something wicked!!

The descriptions and setting you've created are undeniably eerie. A perfect
blend of darkness and intrigue. Exactly how and where I would expect the
antichrist to appear. Exceptional usage of the language, doug. You do dark
writes a great justice! :)
