lady deaths embrace

William Ofarrell 1986 (Rockland, me)



I've heard her haunting call.
Ive lived with lady deathand loved her.
My soul has Stood in the cold lifeless shadow of her wings.
I was her sharpened sword that carved flesh when she couldn't.
I was the storm that scorched cities to dust with no remorse.
Her burdoned hands that carried the souls of the damned to her embrace.
I was the pearcing red eyes behind you,
the thing that goes bump in the darkest night. The warrior of death.
Do you see my burning silhouette?
Can you feel my hot breath on your neckwhen your scared.
Can you Smell my blood soaked fatigues,
U.S. Marines barely visible
Are you right with your God?
Do you feel her grasp on your soul.
As I carry you into the dark
