No Hope Under The Orchid Tree

This was composed while I slipped into my character Echo from my story "Echo's Haven".

Through my fingers the red river flows as his legion grows

Upon midnight's call I huddle and shutter against this wall

But the faces pressing from within
Remind me of humanity's sin

And although I can cease the voices in my head
I know one day I will walk among the dead
