Gods On Vapour Street

[Monster]

Pocket my sword and swing my shield,

I’ll come for you by dusk to dawn

And press your back against the wall,

Casting array those thoughts and memories.

Forget to take and scamper far

To the horizon closer, closer you go,

No more the orange light shall cast down

Upon your face in its fiery glow,

For however closer, closer you dance

Its rays shall shine right on past.

And I will come for you in the days to come,

In the light of the horizon, from dawn to dusk

Until the very ends of this world begin to crumble,

And you, you will have nowhere left to run.

Let the fiery tips of the suns grimace

Shine down upon my shield,

And let my sword flash hither, to and throw

From the goodness in my heart…

And laugh aloud I shall to the mountains -

To the Gods on vapour street.

They in turn shall ghost on by

Watching in translucency.

I’m coming for you my friend, my dear,

And, in all dishonesty,

I’ll save you from your fear, your hopes,

In gain of something better.

Arrive in armour - plate or link.

Throw down your gauntlet to match, my own

Has been laid in the dirt for some time now -

Waiting for your response.

So far have you run,

So wide an expanse of fear you have crossed

And fallen.

The time has come, face your fear

And place your gauntlet on the ground.

In all dishonesty

No harm will come to you -

So face your fears, your hopes

Will be destroyed.

Pocket my sword and swing my shield

And laugh aloud I shall

To the Gods on vapour street.

Your name is on the list,

On the scroll of life and other.

Ready the pen for the tick to come -

You shall soon be crossed off.

So settle down your gauntlet,

Mine has been waiting in the dirt for some time now…

I’m waiting for your response

Your time is quickly sifting away.

Hurry up now, don’t make me wait -

Because I will laugh down

To the Gods on vapour street.
