Star-Crossed City

Crooked, dark and narrow
Facades necrotic black
Charades of the living dead
Vermin cluster in a crack
Hollow, lost, forgotten
Streets of sweating stone
Flashing glows, a sweet mirage
But one never walks alone

Purged by Fires in the night
Neon demons dance in blackened light
See omens shrouding the sky
As flames burst high over

Star-Crossed City
As spheres align
The terminal sign

Rancid, cold and rotten
Impending doom draws near
Electric strokes from high above
Crack a horizon once clear
Broken, Barred and shattered
Where mercy never dared
Blood-red painted doorsteps
This time, shall not be spared

You're gonna die inside

Star-Crossed City
As spheres align
The terminal sign
Star-Crossed City
Run for your life
Into the knife
