Where Black Waters Flow



Worlds collide over a drowning terrain;
An explosion occurs
And buildings crumble
To the ground.
Torpedoes shoot through the hearts
Of every human being.
Whispering winds echo luster voices
Of shattered angels,
And black waters flow
Through the eyes of innocence.

Cryptic knights dash through
The doors of turbulence,
And choking leaches of smoke
Pull on their trembling legs
Taking them down
Into the darkness.

Salt of tears burns
Enraptured geese,
And the dying wolves howl
Where black waters flow.
