If shroud has turned out like it was supposed to , these would have been very different

 

@Sir_Hemlock, we need to produce a book of your poetry in-game. PM me if interested!

 

Greetings Vyrin. Thank you for your generous offer but I must decline.

I am no longer following nor involved in Shroud.

To those who remain- good luck and virtue speed.

 

Pls, let us know where you're going to be.
Some of us might follow you.

 

Just quick experimentations (or mutations) lol

Maybe permutations?

 

k;

 

Indeed... "The end all, be all" ~TL~

 

Its one zany humdinger lol.

Well, its really a reimagining of 'annihilation' above.

I like Annihilation's, I think we should have them more often

Maiden song

And in this dominion all knowledge is yours
Except what transpires behind maidens doors
Knock once more!
Her hearts aflame and the whole world is a dare
No finer words spoken can ever compare
She's waited for something that's always been there

And sometimes a maiden, she'd die for a bite
Though she craves for confection – ooh -this dress is TOO TIGHT!
What a sight!
Fleece all the markets for the finest attire
Make this treacherous creature man's greatest desire
Bejewelled and resplendent by a blustering fire

Who knows why i'm singing this lamentable song?
And who wrote the words? Its so boring and long
Too damn long!
And a diet of crumbs that keeps her so thin
It would starve a small bird if she fed it to him
And I bet this whole song some guy wrote on a whim

 

The Hathor

Something is peeling out from the ether
Its presence, you' felt, like a chill down the spine
And all of man will behold! The hathor!
Blessed blood – ooh - sweeter than wine
And everyone's invited to a consummate feast
But soon they'll be staring down the eyes of the beast

Everything's lost and everything’s black
There's a phantom arising through a curtain of steam
And when you go all the way then there's no turning back
And then something attacks and it tears up your dreams
ooh - everything's lost and everything’s black
There's a villainous shadow tearing out of the seams
And when you go all the way then there's no turning back
And then something attacks and you fall to your knees

And there's nothing to hold onto and I'm sinking in the night
And there's nothing I can bond to and I can't find any light
And the feelings always fading like a fire from my sight

And everyone's invited to a consummate feast...

 

Shardfall

God is absent
The light of Heaven is doused
All the angels be damned
All the demons be roused
Then unbound
Let fire and darkness rain cruel death from the sky
Lift the storms on the winds
Make their lightning unbind
Contrite absolution for an unwashed mankind

 

Its all just fun with words.

 

Exultate

Feel the cold of the Stygian blackness
Feel the fire of Calderas breath
And the splinters churning in the tempest
Shards of ice shred naked flesh
Hear the roar of Darkstars dominions
Taste the spray of blood and death
The art of murder is perfected
Genocydes turn rivers red...

Hear the hearts of the outlaws pounding
Ballista's shriek and belfries ring
The horns of Elvenkind resounding
Choirs – exultate – sing!
Choirs – exultate – sing!
Come the ravage of the Syennas darkness
See Karpasic steal Midras, her home
Soon his soldiers will be stranded
Facing damnation alone...

Feel the pulse of the darkness racing
Hear the beat of its heart, so wild
So deep inside me, loudly pounding
Every shred of sweat defiled...
Hear the drums of the soldiers pounding
With souls so hollow they could ring
Its too confronting and confounding
Choirs – exultate – sing!
Choirs – exultate – sing!

Serrated mountains cast dark shadows
Skiffs capsize and cannons ring
And all the satires expounded
Choirs – exultate – sing!
Choirs – exultate – sing!

Come the ravage of Syenna's darkness
With all her force they'll feel her strike
And all the fools she'll cut to tatters
The silent blade through silken night...
This is the end of the Age of Shadows
This is the start of brighter things
It feels so right
That's all that matters
Choirs – exultate – sing!
Choirs – exultate – sing!

 

Reverie

Night is awake and a silver moongate shines upon your skin
And a lost wind cries on the rocking sea
Through the rain - ooh - sateen

Burning and breathless
There's a burning light through the stormy clouds
Elusive as a dream that fades away when the moon goes down
The lightning stars to dance like the blades of light in the phasing night
Before I lose the chance - I' gott'a find a way to attain your light
I' just gott'a find a way to your Holy light

There were nights entrenched in darkness
There were nights we made it home
Our life is a sea of sadness - jettisoned and so alone

- ooh -
Walking in a frosty morning
Night is draining in the sunrise
All of Nature's beauties dawning
Fog and mildew vaporise
Throes of angels bright and vested carve the waves of endless night
With Heavens light they are ascended
Burnishing forever bright

Softly sing the nights sopranos
Drifting on a moonlit wave
Glorified in light so hallowed
In the chantry of gods grace
From the pews their voices rising
Trembling on the midnight air
Some are laughing
Some are crying
Some are clamored on the stair

Burning and breathless
I''m lying in fields as white as the sun-soaked clouds
A perfumed mountain breeze and a frosty stream keeps on trickling down
The fire starts to dance through a Holy mist in the phasing night
Before I lose the chance - i've got to find a new way to touch your light

There's a river flowing through a golden valley - long untrammelled
Freshly ploughed, within is found- a sacred refuge
Dressed in flowers and the gold wreaths of Spring
At the altar where the hallowed druids sing

The night is awake and the silver moonlight shining on my face
And the solemn cry of the mourning sea - calls me back - like a dream......

 

Karpasics Doom

Prologue;
Hope is absent
The light of Midras is doused
May Karpasic be damned
The Sword of Virtues be found - then unbound
Let fire and darkness rain cruel death from the sky
Cast a glance of defiance in Obsidians Eye
Then prepare the alliance and a rallying cry

The Testament of Absolution
Our ultimate plan
No forward, no forewarned,
for an army of damned – all brigands!
The Generals insistence has earned him his brass
But the fool can not see the impending morass
Or the final solution executed at last

Epilogue;
In this dominion
Only the strong shall prevail
The weak wilt be crushed
Beneath the heels of the able - without fail
The cold of steel instils a man with false pride
While the creature within him he must always hide
Till the outside resembles what was dormant inside.........

 

Mad Abbot song

Turnips, truffles, lamb and Port wine
Simple delicacies make each meal shine
With the right combination of spices and lime
Your tastebuds bless you at mealtime
Pour some Sherry in thy ale, swig some Gin under the table
Try some bread before it's stale, stuff your corpse while your still able
And sing a Yuletide and pluck a quail
A glazed ham on which to dine, scented Rosemary and Thyme
Suddenly the time arrives to stuff ourselves with cherry pies

Don't grizzle, chew some gristle, pluck a grape from Edens vine bless
Every scents a new epistle. An epiphany! A sign!
And if knowledge is a waste of a perfectly blank mind
Then fill it with a taste for bar wenches, song and wine
There's always time for fornicating on the Bishops dime!
We'll have such fun pontificating on the Bishops dime!
If the mind wer't but a chalice and knowledge- fragrant wine
A pretty girl a thing of malice- the wizened woud'st be drunk and blind

I'm all too weary of my wasteline
All too leery of my tights
I'm praying only for the maidens baring flasks of sweet delight
A comely lass must hide her beauty when a Holy man's around,
if he's forthcoming with praise of the fact that he's aroused
For all the maidens I liaise are so much fun to be around
Gaily chuckling at my praise and loosening the eiderdown

But an Abbott mustn't grizzle
Chew some gristle
Suck a lime
This seasoning
That dressing
So arousing and arresting
If it were sin I'd be confessing
An adventure for the senses,
full of culinary pleasures
A whirl of mango, grape and peach
will make your body make a speech
It may seem exaggerated, but really, its all true
And what's a beast of burden of the cloth supposed to do?

All hail pomp and pageantry
First floor is haberdashery
Soft velvet gloves woven with jewels
The finest made by tailors tools
This robe commands respect, oy!
Don't tell me that I'm mad
Don't say I'm too demanding
Just add it to my tab and let the invoice be 'outstanding'
Did I tell you I was an altar boy?

Mutton, potatos and wine,
maketh each meal divine
Come in to dine any time,
and expand thy burgeoning waistline
They've got the perfect pick-me-up,
to hit the spot and quell the flame,
of raging hunger thou hast got
Pick up a plate but don't abstain
I may seem evangelical
Proclaiming food so radical
But those in our sabbatical,
exclaim the tastes fantastical

Just a tankard for this thankless beast of burden of the cloth
Remember me always and i will forget thee not
For i may be thy Holy saviour when thy soul is the line
I may be thy only friend when thy bodies on the mend
So call an Abbott in for dinner when he's passing now and then.........

 

Cabin Boy of the MaronLyte

Once a lad of eight or nine
bequeathed the land for balmy seas
for in his heart t 'was the life for he

With haste he fled early one morn'
before his mam and pappa woke
knoweth deep their humble hearts be broke

The ship he sailed came wrecked one night,
and in a skiff did'st he take flight
with the scurvy crew of MaronLyte

Day's waned and moons 'till came one noon,
when hunger made their eye's grow dim
and so they cast their stony gaze on him

A fight ensued, a struggle lost,
so did'st the youngest pay the cost
hence to the waves the boys remains wer't tossed.........

 

'untitled'

I've wand'd vast glades in great golden valleys
Cried loud to the lands from high mountain heaths
And I've sung to the stars ov'r ocean winds
But narry hath I seen a tender dream wrapped in whitest Winter foam
Nor a sky of peal at dawn unfurl and warm the coldest castle stone.........
