Monochrome World

Darkness forever,

Day fades to night—

Swimming vision,

Ear-splitting ringing,

Strange markings upon the walls,

The doors, the floors.

Shifting, shuffling shapes

Whispering sounds

Utterly impossible,

Gurgling cries of anguish,

Moans of hunger, bloodlust,

Coming from shadows.

Splatters and smears of red everywhere,

Crimson life;

Monochrome world

Where the dead dwell.

Fear grips the heart,

Icy cold—

Atone the sins

Or life is spent.
