Description
This is a bit of a spoiler... this is a "snapshot" of the ending scene of my fic, "Running out of Time," which can be found HERE: [link]

The fic is now complete with the exception of the alternate ending I promised everyone.... READ IT if you want to know what's going on in this pic.

---

Everybody knows so well

What’s written on the Doomsday Bell.

Our fates are sealed by our own hand;

So let the dirge ring through this stifled land.

---

No sacred hand to carve into your stone;

Those words may be graven by your hand alone.

A ghosted whisper of burning hope;

A path concealed by the lines you wrote.

---

You search for what cannot be found

As your footsteps echo on hallowed ground.

A prayer uttered to stagnant air,

The truth, the lies, your life laid bare.

---

Behind closed eyes we can truly see

The fraying rope of our destiny;

The path will find you in this cheerless land,

The stillborn questions entombed in sand.

---

Trapped in this city of steel and lies,

You have no worth but what death buys.

Strive to secure your own damnation;

Your blood and tears are the only salvation.

---

Tears of joy and tears of pain,

A sea of tears with nothing gained.

But when all is lost to death and shame,

The tears alone are what remain.

---

Requiem loosed on static air;

Doom’s bell rings the warning knell.

Come, Destruction, thy name is Ruin,

To wake me from this endless Hell.

---

Battered faith to crack the stone

Of iron oaths that stood alone;

Before the onslaught of blighted Day;

The Devil bows his head to pray.

---

Forsake the path you tread once more;

A key to find the hidden door

Of dark delusion’s sweet embrace-

The truth that you cannot yet face.

---

The Sword of Judgement hangs above;

The fragile wings of tarnished Love;

The tainted blood that courses down

Holds promise of Judgement’s fury unbound.

---

You walk their path but stand alone

For sins which you cannot atone;

Chained and bound by ancient guilt

Make foundations quiver by the faith you built.

---

What is life with purpose spent?

What truth behind the laws you bent?

An answer comes on silenced breath;

The only promise made us is death.

---

The beat of ragged Angels’ wings;

The only reason the soul yet sings

A silence echoes where laughter once pealed

We, the authors of the dooms we sealed.

---

Requiem loosed on static air;

Doom’s bell rings the warning knell.

Come, Destruction, thy name is Ruin,

To wake me from this endless Hell.
