Rising of the hollow

by ECILA ice   Sep 29, 2007


Zombies ascend from their graveyard
As their pale bodies try to walk away
From the tormented creed

Treading with full of hopes
As they depart from the old cemetery,
Where all the illusions are now buried

With ripped chests,
Taken the organ that supplies tainted life
Ready to end the core of all these sufferings

And with sewed ears,
Deafened themselves from the tempting sound of siren,
No more lullabies that would deceive and hypnotize them

They are now ready to raze their crypt,
free themselves from the devil's den
And dwell in a genuine land that they always yearn...

**this one is for aj..

**thanks to Atticus Maximus Horatius, balnk illusions and sunny for suggesting a title and for correcting my mistakes..

    I like it, truly dark and it has outstanding imagery. I don't love zombies that much but you used some truly great words in it and atmosphere is really powerful.

    -And with sewed ears,
    Deafened themselves from the tempting sound of siren,
    No more lullabies that would deceive and hypnotize them-
    ^This stanza is so effective, well done!
