999

wings of glory, wings of fire
fly, fly, fly O fly on higher
bring the rush nay bring the pain
bathe in blood then wash in rain
come down hard on the pitiful weak
glare down on in deep disdain

wings of glory, wings of fire
fly, fly, fly O fly on higher
When they dare you give them mirth
flames of passion warm the hearth
run them down into the ground
the meek shall ne'er inherit the earth

wings of glory, wings of fire
fly, fly, fly O fly on higher
unleash the blazing hounds of hell
comes the calling of the reapers knell
when the dust does cloud the skies
it is thy tale that the ravens tell

wings of glory, wings of fire
fly, fly, fly O fly on higher
black be the night but darker deeds
strong emotion but darkness breeds
thoughts race on and bodies follow
as fumes fuel the headless steeds

wings of glory, wings of fire
fly, fly, fly O fly on higher
lucifer smiles and wears his crown
a smile is but a turned up frown
the vanquished squint up to the glare
and see the demons number staring down!

Interesting thought. From a literary pov, why rhyme ?

well dude.. the tale is interesting: it started out with a intramural soccer jersey with the number 999 - and how that would look like 666 if u looked at it upside down.
Then from the literary POV, alwasy wanted to see if i could use refrains and experiment with death metal type stuff ...
maybe next week i can work on a counterpoint to this!
