Search upon a moonless night
The bootlegged heart.
Created from sludge
Tossed into the swamp.

Find within the cage
Perched upon the mountain.
A withered soul awaits
Eroded by the frost.

In the pit of the beast
Find the onyx pendant.
Rigid as steel,
Black as shadows.

On the eerie surface
Of a crimson lake.
Reach into the brink
To take a drink.

The heart is dark.
The soul is dead.
The pendant stark.
The lake mad.

Make dark decisions
With no emotion.
Be rougher than those
Whose sanity remains.

The darkness is bleak,
But chosen often.
A calling to the desperate ,
An opportune reckoning.
Do you choose the left or right path?
