At Dawn

... all lies are laid bare.

 

I slew them. I slew my demons in the dark of night.

 

"Krack," went their necks.

"Splut," went their hearts.

"Grbbblgr," went their lips.

 

I slew them in the dark of night.

And chased the shadows away.

And the sun peeped over the horizon.

And my world was filled with light.

 

Light... and blood-stains, corpses, filth, decay.

 

In the heat of the moment, I'd forgotten.

But the light shows me the way.

I was glad to have forgotten.

But the damned light shows me the way.

 

Damn it all.
