It wasn't killing the man that Bruce found uncomfortable. The smile on the other hand he could have done without. Laughter burbled out through a bloody grin that stretched across the man's face like rent sheet metal, eyes wide and bulging. In Bruce's experience, a man having his aorta stuffed with nine inches of hedge shear should be panicked or upset... or at least mildly disgruntled. This guy beamed at the blades like a garden implement through his sternum had been the only ask on his Christmas list for the last decade. Bruce began to pull away, but the man's hand seized tight on his, holding it and the shears in place with startling strength. A book appeared in the man's free hand, its cover bound in something fleshy that looked altogether moist and charred at the same time. Opening his mouth, many somethings jointed and spindly began to feel their way out beyond the man's lips. Bruce screamed as he struggled to free himself from the man's grip, trying to turn and run. That's

Literature

Apocalyptic Breed

New prophets bring new gods Their golden idols; seats of clay Prostrate before the altars Bless'ed be are those who prey A demon for every sin That's where it all begins Obfuscating elucidation Tribalistic exploitation So offer up your sacrifice And kiss their smoking hems Bathe in grace with face averted The stench is just pretend You know it's true because they say it You know it's false because they hate it The only option is to take it Or be branded as the wretch you are A plague upon the masses Unworthy Unclean Suffer for your likeness Repent Receive The healing is upon you Whatever The means The decaying hand that feeds An apocalypt

Nightfall by Maldictus, literature

Literature

Nightfall

Mortal and divine collide A union born of living fire Surrender all that touch the light Beholden to the new empire The light is fading... The light is fading... First to rise and first to fall Silver Star's betrayal woven A sacrifice made of them all In the binding darkness woken The sands will hold him... The sands will hold him-- A shadow will rise By the gaze of the eye The Harbinger will come Bringing Nightfall A shadow will rise By the gaze of the eye The Harbinger will come Bringing Nightfall Of the sun Destiny, black out the sun Prophecies of scorched horizon Memory, of things to come The child brings us all damnation Burn the

The Paladin by Maldictus, literature

Literature

The Paladin

I made a prayer, but none have dared To become the sword and defend what's fair So now I see that it is me Who must be the one to care... So I take up the sword And ride into the horde By might and with justice I will not be ignored! I, the ward Between man and evil The cleanser of darkness And the warrior of the people By righteousness alone I gird my very bones Against the onslaught of the wicked Who remain unatoned And they should have known That I have sworn For every stolen life mourned I will be the blade of justice The oncoming storm Roaring with the thunder Of every motherless child scorned But despite my conviction It was always

Come Death by Maldictus, literature

Literature

Come Death

Deception... Denial... Delusion... Defile... And-- Why? Why are we still living all the lies The lies that man himself devised We walk assured And undeterred Heading straight towards our demise And why? Deception... Denial... Delusion... Defile... And-- War War's still knocking on our door Exactly where we've stood before Walking numbers Atomic thunder The truth is still the world's whore In war Deception... Mind decay Denial... We hide away Delusion... That we obey Defile all that still remains! Welcome to the man machine... Deception... Denial... Delusion... Defile... We're-- Slaves Slaves unto the modern age Locked up in the debt

Tides by Maldictus, literature

Literature

Tides

All alone in this desert ocean I've been forgotten by the tides Dashed between the waves of my emotion Caught in an endless storm I cry-- Out into the darkness Screaming as I try to climb . . . Drowning in the shadows Deeper than the starlight can shine . . . Devoured by the questions Lurking in the depths of my mind . . . Falling ever farther Swept up in the currents of time As I wade through the endless divide Burning questions take me ever closer But from light the answers hide Candle fires offer no more closure Than the endless dark I fight-- Back with every notion Telling me what's wrong or right . . . Freezing from the howling Wind th

Hiding Place (My Escape) by Maldictus, literature

Literature

Hiding Place (My Escape)

It's two A.M. And still I sit here writing Fighting To push away the biting Of a mind self-consumed and hiding From all the questions trying To open up my weaknesses Get me to confess That I'm a mess Hidden behind smiling 'Cause I question what I know And I've forgotten where to go To see the world's wonder All the beauty it could show As I sit here Forgotten in the flow I'd say I miss my childhood When I thought that I still understood The broken lines Set to divide Who was bad And who was good But all I see these days Is the blanket shade of greys From lies like smoking towers Hiding truth behind the haze Cause I'm still fazed By a worl

Mirror Mirror by Maldictus, literature

Literature

Mirror Mirror

Looking into madness Silver plated canvas Shattered yet unbroken Where darkness has awoken Mirror Mirror on the wall Watching as the curtain falls I'm stuck here in these empty halls Haunted by your staring What is it you want from me? You hateful visage that I see Cackling there in apathy And still you keep on glaring Looking into madness Silver plated canvas Shattered yet unbroken Where darkness has awoken Always getting clearer The demon in the mirror His face is coming nearer The facade that he's bearing Revealing what's behind the mask As the visage starts to crack Now there is no turning back From the gaze we're sharing Looking in

Who Are You? by Maldictus, literature

Literature

Who Are You?

Who are you that stands before me? So beautiful and humble I would swear I've stumbled into a dream Yet no mortal mind could dream up such grand perfection Who are you that I've known for but a fraction of life? Yet I feel you have been forever here beside me And still for yet not long enough have I known you For a lifetime would be too short to know your smile Who are you that has made my life to shine so bright? As a fireside respite from the long dark of journey's night A storm beacon for my tempest-caught soul Standing golden upon sun-licked sands Who are you with voice so comforting? To wrap me warm in its soft embrace With ease you h

Am I Human? by Maldictus, literature

Literature

Am I Human?

Am I Human If I can't feel why I'm here? Am I Human If I want to disappear? Am I Human If the light, it burns my skin? Am I human If I don't know right from sin? There's a danger in me This blatant stranger in me And I can't fight From what I can't hide This fuckin' anger in me And I've tried to pick up these pieces Of the things that I've shattered And the shards that I've lost Were the things that really mattered But too late did I realize That I'd become so numb That the glass of all my memories Cut me till I succumbed To the things that I hate most Me, myself and I That I'd become a ghost Was I still human when I died? Am I Human If

Tenebri'el by Maldictus, literature

Literature

Tenebri'el

(I am a wayward son; a monster of rebellion) (I am a fallen one; an angel of transgression) (Christen me: Tenebri'el) -I- I was born of perfection, yet I was meant to bow? This flesh that you call human, what good are they now? Can't you see they're weak, god? These mortal men you prize The world is for the meek, god? Won't you open up your eyes? Is this to be my height, god? Are they really all I'm for? Then maybe Satan's right, god, to start a holy war (I know what I have done; my soul without repentance) (I was cast out; shunned; hell bound to serve my sentence) -II- We've culled them through the centuries, exposing all their lies We'

Three Nights by Maldictus, literature

Literature

Three Nights

Though just three nights you were in sight You trapped me in your gaze The first embrace was just a taste Of how you would amaze For you could see the real me And set my soul ablaze With green eyes that now comprise My endless thought cascade The porcelain that was your skin With golden hair so sleek And charming smile that shaped an isle Into your red rose cheeks Delirious, so curious From all your scent did speak It's no surprise that from your guise I was left so weak "Tick-tock" went the clock That chased the nights away Countless fears of countless years You kept them all at bay With just a touch, that meant so much There's nothing lef

Star Chimes - Dark Matter Dreams by Maldictus, literature

Literature

Star Chimes - Dark Matter Dreams

Lay down your head; get dressed for bed Let the night sing sweet lullabies An infinite maze; trapped in your gaze Behold the void dressed in starlight Answers dance between the star chimes Twinkling hearts cast in bell rhymes Can you tell me what it means? Drift off in dreams; frayed at the seams Another world awaits behind your eyes Beyond the shores; there's something more Lunar winds upon the eventides Answers dance between the star chimes Twinkling hearts cast in bell rhymes Can you tell me what it means? Call the starlight down from their heavenly filigrees Falling to the ground they breath their light into the trees The echoes of Ed

The Faceless by Maldictus, literature

Literature

The Faceless

If you've ever thought That the grass is always greener On the other side You're not alone tonight If you've ever feared That the world could get meaner Hidden from the light You're not alone tonight For a million souls still stand Reached out with shattered hands We are The faceless The nameless But not forgotten The fighters And lovers Sick of crawling It's true that We seek for A hope befallen To show us A way back From the dark If you've ever thought That all you do is grieving And you're not alright You're not alone tonight If you've ever feared That love is meant for leaving Given into spite You're not alone tonight But a million

What I Want of You by Maldictus, literature

Literature

What I Want of You

Do you know what I want of you? I want your rhythm And the pulse upon your hips The feeling of your skin close against me The ripples of your form to leave no guess I want you to tempt me And assuage me To trace your sweat with my caress I want you to drown me And consume me Ever more and never less I want your kiss To steal your lips To last for but a moment until forever Leave my mind for your soul to engage I want you to entrance me And dance for me For my form to be your stage I want your fire And your passion To fill an endless heaven's page I want your sense And your emotion The bloodrush flushed within your flesh Vibrant, lush, radi

Starscape by Maldictus, literature

Literature

Starscape

My dear, I beg of you, come waltz the night with me Stepping to the flow of moons, we'll dance on Saturn's rings Starscapes bound the endless void to set our spirits free Celestial we sway to the song that heaven sings There are many treasures in the sky, wonders beyond sight Planets, moons and meteors, to dark stars and nova bursts Try as I might I cannot find the one that shines so bright As the lady on my arm, who holds my gaze submersed Galaxies and quasars, fleck the desert of the night Meadow fields of starlight heather, cascade across black sea Like diamonds on the breeze, cast their symphonies of light Still the view cannot compare

Poison in the Vein by Maldictus, literature

Literature

Poison in the Vein

Enter the trance The serpent's dance The final insistence A dark embrace For just a taste To end all resistance Can you feel the prickling? It's strickening The heat beneath the skin Flesh coiling It's toiling To keep your heart within She paid the price It struck her thrice A flash of silver fangs The serpent's kiss Upon her wrist The poison in her veins Can you feel the quickening? It's sickening The swelling deep inside Blood poisoning It's boiling The venom you've imbibed Lust craving sate She hallucinates Nothing's as it seems Savor for this Her tortured bliss As she slips into dreams The ophidian beast Gives her sweet release To co
