Through outer darkness.

A spectre doth gleam

With mournful eyes and

Countenance serene

Beckoning hither

Across the great expanse

'Twixt the waking world

And what comes next

A fading light

Draining from the hollows of his eyes

The final rites

Spoken in murmurs as he dies

The soul arise

Pulled from his cooling flesh

One with the night

As Edwin Brown

Surrendered to the

Triumph of Death

On the morrow

A shadow comes to life

Banished from the sun

To dwell in the moonlight

Accursed night

Horror in the abyss of their eyes

The pleas of fright

Groaned by his victims as they writhe

In time

They'lI succumb like all the rest

Consumption

The Herald Angel

Announce

The Triumph of Death
