Savage Garden

Mirror image of a dying civilization

At the edge of destruction

Torn apart by war, hatred, and genocides

Blood sacrifice

Atrocities committed in the name of false idols

Children enslaved merely for the sadistic pleasure of their ‘master’

Crusades in the name of the Christian God

A tool to wipe out the faith of an empire

A glint of bone against the night sky

The faint whisper of a stiletto drawn

Villages razed

races destroyed

Echo of lives lost

And of those gained

This kingdom of hedonistic pleasures

This dominion of the lost

Petals soaring

with Winds whispering

Dark ,silent roars

ghost throughout times past.

Fatal errors fall to the blade

winter flies brightly past, reveling in plague.
