Shapeshifter

The rising sun brings a new day Splitting the atoms creates a new hell Thousands dead in an instant On the streets only their shadows remain In a flash your life is taken away The mushroom cloud is a symbol of death Feel the shockwave hear the sound Hiroshima city burns to the ground Deception is key to enter the war Many will suffer to settle the score Nowhere to run; nowhere to hide Destroying lives leaving nothing behind Radiation sickness 1945 Necessary evil now prepare to die Blackened liquid matter rains from the sky Contaminated substance of life The streets are filled with agony, People charred and the barely alive Creeping slowly dragging their feet Looking to escape this blazing inferno Spared from the fire bombs A test to measure hate Three were chosen But two will fall

Ancient sun descends Quieting the land As the night frosts life into the dawn Moonlight takes command Predators ascend As the hunt feeds life into the dawn In the ruthless Pleistocene An ice age swept across the earth Bearing grasslands that were sparse Avid ice sheets claim their turf Aurochs grazing in the fields Ibex gather to survive Mammoths heard together in fear They are hunted Carnivorous are the apex predators Exploiting bogs they close in for the kill Thrusting spears leaving stone tools in their wake Smashing bones into rock sucking marrow out Strategic slaughter taking down big game Powerful musculature; they kill at close range Skinning quarry; knives made out of stone Antlers to shaft; the first craftsmanship is born Fires burn in a musty grotto hearth Emeralds glow in the sky People of great mystery Bred out by homo sapiens Lived and died by the rules of carnivores Extinct never to be seen again

Arboreal cavity hollowed and tunneled Monogynous colony shaded and guarded Nesting chambers closely stacked in tiers A cartridge of conscripts Infantry worker-fashioned cells To hoard their brood Bullet fires excruciating pain Venom flowing fiercely in your veins Disturbing peace is an act of war Neurotoxin brings agony to their foe Crepuscular foraging is vital and determined Workers strive to scavenge along the canopy Landmarks guide the troops as they return With instinct they come Bearing rations to feed their kin A founding queen; the nuptial flight Leaving her nest mates behind Soaring high into the air She meets her mate; her wings she tears Eusocial through primitive A lifetime of seed he gives Workers thrive; the caster forms Soldiers slay defending their home Defenders swarm from deep within its core

Quietly she awaits on foliage for her mate The sweet smell of death fills the air With a traitor's smile and animal lust She will breed He descends from the canopy Swaying with alpha pride Guided by a promiscuous scent Drawn in by a luring dance A brilliant display of instinct Far from human instinct Their words shall never intersect They are pure Patiently camouflaged awaits to take Stalking past memories to better ones own fate Innocent prey absorbs betray From the ravenous deceiver with clouded eyes Shredding the mind Cannibalistic traits cut deep The scent is so strong Predator eyes tease naked meat Mantis the aggressor Mantis enchanting predator Molting old skin Uncovers true hate from within New stained traitor lurking in the mist Awaiting the next victim to submit Forming the lies Enchanting aggressor will soon arise The endless slay and mental decay When your back is turned she will strike She strikes so fast She strikes to kill During copulation she'll chomp off his head Continuing to gyrate after he's dead The seed has been planted and life shall go on Humanity's loyalty remains forever lost Shredding the mind Cannibalistic traits cut deep The scent is so strong No solace for the weak

Brewing to the west The climate schemes and collides Foothills feed the drifter cold Stirring to the east The violent cell is unleashed The cluster of storms approached Vortex gathering speed Refinery Row at its peak Abate when the kill is weak Annihilate then dissipate Brilliant sky stares Onto its swath of destruction Hail beats down Like boulders from above Vicious eye channels All its wrath onto the chosen Supercells give birth to the F5 The roaring freight train Announces its arrival Many can't escape the tornadic storm Encircled by debris Lives are lost and left broken Stillness guides the beast Back to the core from which it came Black Friday

Human becoming cryptid Struggling to survive Famine from dead cold winters Canadian woods Catabolysis claims tissues Atrophy weakening the mind Seeking the weak or children With hunger behind the eyes Satisfy with flesh form others Gaining great strength and speed Sacrifice based on survival Awakes a demon's sleep The evil that devours haunts northern forests Controlling the sky using dark magic Elongated tongues mimic human voices Stalking the host in the dark Returning to mortal land After years of hibernation The lone creature is hungry And possession is his passion Wendigo made of ice Wendigo bloody eyes Wendigo pale yellow skin Wendigo is razor thin Sight of the Wendigo means death will follow Wendigo fifteen feet tall Wendigo the cannibal Keeping victims alive to keep them fresh Underground in caves he makes his nest Man-beast with a venomous bite Leaving starved victims to change Host turns to beast running naked through the trees With threats of violence spewing from its jaws Cravings begin; blood and flesh hang off the chin Of he who was too selfish to die

A soul breaks free from a corpse The journey begins to the end of the earth A realm invisible in human form A greedy god's kingdom of the dead A dying wish of coins on lips To pay the fair Or forever be trapped between worlds Spirits of the dead Passing one way to the underworld Acheron river of pain Cocytus river of lamentation Phlegethon river of fire Styx river of hatred Lethe river of oblivion Alone he stands at the gates Watching ferryman drifting in He who enters cannot escape A thirst for souls from flesh stripping heads Kneel and be judged; eternal fate Frozen in time skeletons roams weightless The living shall not enter here He sees the past, present and future

I shovel the coal while you bring me pain Ignorant to the lashing Torture is certain, I cannot escape Reality kick to the face I fear this life I fear the end Torture Fire is burning at both ends Weary of drinking poison Reclusive, I scream at the night Re-born from ashes again Appearing with nobility I give it all or nothing With words that rip flesh from bone I should've hit the ground running I fear this life I fear the end Torture is certain I cannot escape I fear this life I fear the end Torture To gaze upon the world as one And glide through all the madness With timeless thoughts of what can be, Restricted by your darkness Ride upon the midnight sky To see it all but come back blind Desire clouds reality I am all out of fight Torture Quartered as the horses pull Torture Shunned and dragged then left alone Torture Oblivious to loyalty Torture From lust I beg to be set free

The dendrites crawl Upon the trees Casting moonlit shadows on the snow Beneath the frost the rot Emanates from the kill Ravens scavenge on the crimson ice Free the beast within Therian Suppressed, bound up tight and backed against the wall Gripping to the sanity that always seems to fall (Shapeshifter) Change what is hated and what is not real Never look back Peering from a deepened den Behold the road that lies downwind Thrusted down on hand and knee Dripping flesh and snarling teeth Bursting from frostbitten skin Hackles raised; howling breath Change what is hated and never ever look back Shapeshifter The dendrites crawl Upon the trees Casting moonlit shadows on the snow Beneath the frost the rot Emanates from the kill Ravens scavenge on the crimson ice
