Oblivion's Abyss

 

No one thought it would ever end like this
Upon the precipice, of oblivion's abyss
Confronted by zombies in a swarming phase
The primeval monstrosities created to raze

Depraved tales were told from times of yore
But the artificial unintelligent decided to lure
So they came in droves, the herd of undead
Their insanity disguised, that never misled

There was no defence, no wish to protect
Those who crossed over, were to aid and abet
Released and unshackled, they ran wild'n'free
From city, to shire, from the shoreline quay

Darkest is the hour, before a biblical storm
And with zombies unleashed, hope is forlorn
For theirs is an order with a higher command 
As their insanity prevailed, before a last stand

Daylight turned to night, with a faux aurora
As cities were razed to Sodom & Gomorrah
The heavens faded, as if in a solar eclipse
Marking the beginning of a new apocalypse 

Those in ivory towers, had, without debate 
Decided on a course, to an alternative state
And so conflict ensued, in the quasi-dark
Illuminated by flames, ignited by a spark

Depraved tales unfolded, in an uncivil war
As the artificial unintelligent chose to ignore
The emboldened droves, hunted in packs
Their insanity aligned, in butchering attacks

There're monsters, demons, now zombies too
But no forever war, after a military coup
And no one said it would ever end like this
Turning from the precipice of oblivion's abyss
