Blackened Souls (Satan's Guard)



Minds darkened by the serpent's tongue,
Hearts full of venom, turned black stone.
Shaitan, he whispers, clever is his ploy,
Seduced ooze hate, burn, violate, destroy.

These rotted souls slay innocent with relish,
Care not, and celebrate as children perish.
With demonic fervor stab and slash,
With religious zeal torch infants into ash.

They adamantly bellow that "God is Great",
From other side of mouth spew bile, hate,
Spilled blood, in overflown rivers cools,
Atrocities cheered on by vile, hatefull fools.

So many lives of innocents are razed,
Genocidal dreams endorsed and praised.
And so it goes, they justify their vile deeds,
That sprouted from the hateful sown seed.

Lie peppered through the truth,
Subverts, demoralizes and distorts.
Light bent to suit the devil's word,
Lays waste to souls ... corrupts.

From twisted minds new generation learns,
Those blackened, to the Light are foes,
Their poison endures, it festers, flows.
And Satan's guard persists, enlists and grows.

This death cult 's riding on the path of war,
Aims to impose on all its perverse law.
The bells are chiming, call to arms went out,
For hordes of devils to be vanquished in a rout.
