One last song, I begged of him

As he looked upon me, face so grim

The time has come, I can no longer play

Blackened notes, on sheets of gray

The lines now blurred upon the page

I take my leave of this earthly stage

Though my hands shall leave these ivory keys

My melody continues, in sweet rhapsody

Ghoulish creature in full moon light

Eerily stalking you, in ebony night

No longer hidden, the Hunter’s Moon glows

Lighting the way, with terror, he shows

A hideous face, with a sickle in hand

His quest for you, most carefully planned

Watching and waiting, he stares in the dark

Empty eyes gazing, he’s leaving his mark

Quivering soul, he’s gotten into your head

Wearing you down, no escape from the dead

 

This was a shot I took from my driveway, as the Hunter’s Moon was rising.  The leaves created quite the scene, and I of course, ran with it.  I have another shot, with a totally different scene, which I will share closer to Halloween  🙂

Chains of Earthly Sin

The rattle of the wind

Knows nothing next to him

He carries the weight of hardened steel

The chains of earthly sin

Floating over graveyards

His face you cannot see

Just his lantern burning bright

To hide identity

A journey over misplaced souls

He continues on his travel

Hoping one day soon he’ll find

The one who can unravel

The binds that hold him to this place

And rid him of his life’s disgrace

Do not fear the sands of time
As they slip between this glass
Time is only borrowed
All good things must pass

To yet another journey
Another land set far away
A place to find your hidden soul
That life has led astray

Yes, follow us and ride the night
As you take your one last breath
We have come to bring you home
Eternity, in the land of death
