The Fall Of God

by Hades   Jan 4, 2006


Let the ash fall to the earth
And burn into my skin
All the pain that I must bear
Is payment for my sin

The streets that I once called my home
Have long decayed away,
My soul is trapped in emptiness
The dark is here to stay

I see the spirits of the damned
Reaching for the light
But punishment for treachery
Is cold, unending night

As I well know, the consequence
The punishment I've earned
God's supposedly forgiving
That is not what I've learned

I've learned that he abandons
Those he is thought to love
He leaves their tainted souls to rot,
There's no mercy from above.

And so I walked the other path,
The darker, fiery trail,
And through the power I achieved,
I etched another tale.

A tale of pure darkness,
Of anger, hate, and rage
I learned to use the devil's gifts
Freed from an inner cage

I am a soldier of the fire
A minion born of hate
Certain souls can be redeemed,
For mine it is too late.

The throne of God abandoned,
And heaven lies in flame
It is I who burned it down
I am the one to blame

As heaven lies in ruins,
And melts into the ground
I turn to face my master
We leave without a sound

My newly acquired trophies
I lift high into the air,
The head of Christ, and the Hands of God
Bound with angel's hair

    Oh wowwwyyy kazooowyyy....

    I love this poem...

    Let me start with the title... It is excellent. Caught my attention with less than a second. It's a creative title.

    This poem is nice, quite unique, dark and very descriptive. Please do not mind, my choice of words is not good......

    I love how you start the poem by saying that you are in pain paying for all of your sins. You hope for mercy which you thought was what god's did give to their loved ones but they just leave you to rot....

    So you leave that path of God and walk with the evil darkness and you are the reason for the fall of the heaven above...

    What a wonderful poem.I love your choice of words. Almost each paragraph of yours had that one line which I absolutely love. I kinda right now wish why can't I write like this.... It is dark and beautiful. I would like to mention those lines I love....

    Let the ash fall to the earth
    And burn into my skin
    * what a description. Although I didn't understand by ash you meant gods mercy or God punishment but I'm assuming it's the punishment.

    My soul is trapped in emptiness
    * I've never read such a beautifully written line. This line of yours is remarkable.

    God's supposedly forgiving
    * here you say that God is known to be forgiving but this is not what you are experiencing.... So well written.

    He leaves their tainted souls to rot,
    *love how you wrote this... God who is said is forgiving is not and just leaves you to rot in that something of darkness.

    I etched another tale.
    *I love this line as it is mysterious making us think what is this tale that you are now going to tell. This is the turning point of your poem and I love this point...

    The throne of God abandoned,
    And heaven lies in flame
    *oh my goodness... How do you write so well...

    As heaven lies in ruins,
    And melts into the ground
    *heaven is a place of bliss and perfection which is high up in the sky or said to be some where there.... Your lines tell that it is devastated and the place which is normally up above is now coming down to the ground...
    .... Very strong lines here...

    I love this poem. Also because I've written slightly like this maybe poem(it's there here on this site).
    Your words were strong and powerful.. Made me read it thrice..
    This definitely goes in my favorite's...

    Wonderfully written... Keep writing...
    5/5

    You did an awsome job with this poem. Just wondering, are you recruiting for the dark one? I'm a soldier for hire, lol. Anyway, flawless poem and I'm putting it in my favorite poems list. :)
