A Figure In Black

 

I wandered far and wide
Across this barren land
No terminus in sight
When will this journey end?

From the dark
A fearful sound
I turn around and stare
Black figure – arise
With flaming eyes
It said: “Decide”

“Join us
Or rot here for eternity
Now choose your fate”

I turn and break to run
But every path looks the same
A hot breath on my back
Voices call my name

I stumble and fall
What does it want from me?
Beg for mercy, there is none
Just a question
That said: “Decide”

“Join us
Or rot here for eternity
Now choose your fate”

Cold fingers drag me down
Into the black abyss
Who am I? What have I done
To meet a fate like this?

Cry out towards the sky
Who will save me now?
Black figure, last sight
With a smile
It said: “Decide”

“Join us
Or rot here for eternity
Now choose your fate”
