Catacombs

In the cold depths of forgotten catacombs

a new monster awakens

It's steps echoing in the empty

damp & dark hallways

On It's forehead - the mark of the Beast

On It's back - scratched out - Aramaic verses

The new monster doesn't know

where It came from

or what It is

but It knows It is hungry

And so It roams the catacombs

in search of food

When It comes across a creature

cowering in the corner

The monster doesn't know

what this creature is

but It knows it is afraid

And so It devours it

shattering it's bones

and tearing it's flesh

The monster doesn't feel guilty

or remorse

It doesn't know how to feel

All It knows is that It is hungry

and that It will continue to hunt

until It is satiated

From It's mouth pour forth

a torrent of foul words

curses & blasphemies

against the human kind

The monster is malevolent

and It thirsts for blood

Its eyes glow red with hatred

And in Its hand It holds

a sharpened blade

The new monster is coming

and It will bring death

and destruction

in Its wake

Let's hope It never escapes the

Catacombs
