Darkness quietly slides into the room

As the sun falls away

Each object covered in paralyzing gloom

By the end of the day.

Within its crumbling confines, flowers rarely bloom

And every crevice predicts unsightly doom.

 

Grim warrior priests here reside

Within Chilon’s high walls, glowering

Over the valleys where timorous peasants hide

Where wheat grows in contrary abundance, towering

Trees softly move from side to side

Like flotsam in a powerful tide.

 

Seduced by thoughts of death

The sweet call of violence

The priests would ride throughout the land’s breadth

Killing in awesome silence.

Unable, even if they wished, to quench

Their terrible lust; driven by its very stench.
