Poems of a Lost Soul

Dogs of War

I can hear the Devil calling
along with distant snarling.
They listen for my sobbing
while I'm sitting here quivering.

Oh,
Hear them howl!
Oh,
Watch them prowl!

I can't stop the
Dogs of War!

I can feel the fields burning.
They want me to start running,
for the hunters to start hunting,
and for my blood to start gushing.

Oh,
They're coming closer!
Oh,
They won't stop til' they catch this loner!

I can't stop the
Dogs of War!

I can now see the river,
causing me to shiver.
My hope is now a sliver
as I know they'll lose me downriver.

Oh,
I see their silhouette against the fire,
Oh,
I feel their bloodthirsty desire!

I can't stop the
Dogs of War!

I feel the cold water pull me under
and I hear the distant thunder,
making me realize my blunder,
as they're about to take their plunder.

Oh,
I see them just above me!
Oh,
I can feel my soul leave me!

I couldn't stop the
Dogs of War

I'm not particularly sure how I feel about this one, to be honest. I like it, but I feel like I've degraded from my other ones. Oh well, I'll just make the next one better. 😉

Hope you have a wonderful Morning/Afternoon/Evening!
