Death Is Only The Beginning

Dark. Dank. Death.
Two worlds collided.
The paranormal creatures have come out to play,
And when they come knocking at your door, be prepared to fight.
Hear the anthem of the angels sing,
And say your last good-bye.
Dank. Dank. Death.
We live among the dead,
Only the dead don't stay in their graves.
They pursue their prey without relent.
Ghost white faces,
Lips stained red with the blood of loved ones,
Plastered into a sick twisted smile, unchanging.
Their is nothing left of them,
You can see it in their cold jaded eyes.
They are the Devil in disguise,
Coming to take your life.
Death is dark.
Death is dank.
Death welcomes you with open arms, and consumes your soul.
But death is only the beginning,
So don't be afraid.
