The Creature Known Only As Behemoth
on that fated day a sign of bad omen
filled the skies with thunder and lightning
the creature known only as behemoth arised from the dead
along with a bitter vendetta buried under undying
from vengeance..to unleash his fury upon man
in the eyes of this atrocity everyone were mere underlings
all who opposed this fearsome beast quickly perished
sentenced to rot in dante's inferno as punishment
striking fear into the hearts of men
the creature plowed the earth hungering
the victims torn to pieces or simply devoured whole
one would hang himself from the noose then to face his fierce bludgeoning
human beings turned on one another to save themselves
imprisoning prophets and children to serve as offerings
blood sweat and tears filled this suffocating atmosphere
in this age of decadence there was only pain and suffering
