Witchhaven from Nocturnal Poems by Sanity

Travelling through the ancient forest of a long forgotten earldom,
dusk was falling, the wings of darkness embraced my soul.
I settled myself down on the side of the forest
to survive one more night in this strange country.

Under the coat of darkness, evil creatures
came to tear my sweet, warm flesh, limb from limb.
I felt the slaver on my skin, corroding my body,
their teeth and claws promised to die a cruel death soon !

I cast a spell and the sky turned red
from the blood of my enemies.
I felt the power in my veins
being frightened to get lost.

Will this be worse than losing my life,
will I never be myself again ?
Trying to control my feelings, not to get rid of my sense of life,
I felt my coming victory, but I lost my consciousness.

I awoke in a sinister hall, only lightened by few torches.
Silent chants echoed from surrounding arcades.
I stood up and took a look at the room,
my eye fell on a letter and on it was written: „Welcome to Witchhaven“ !

Memories of an old fairytale came to my mind:
An ancient castle built in an unknown land far away.
When I began to realize my abilities, I began to long for this unreal shelter.
Later, when I grew up, I left my village where I was despised my whole life.

Every day on my way to this dreamlike place,
mostly alone, to lands no human eye had ever seen before,
I lost all hope when I came to this hopeless country
and I almost paid for it with my life, but now i’m here, home ...

... I found the occupants of this refuge later,
they killed me in agony ...
