A Coming Storm

[metalfan91]

I
"Await the coming storm and the change it brings,
The violent flood of everything."

II
Scale pristine mountains on which evil presides,
Staggered by decaying stench,
Of rust and leaden lakes.

Twisted wires mangled 'twixt the monolithic trees,
Mages test the strength of man,
Weakened by disease.

Threshing maw and gnashing steel,
Pollute with acrid breath;
Machinations granted life,
By those who brandish death.

Staff-flung boulders clear a path,
Through black machines of hate;
In the throes of this old wrath,
A sullen people wait.

III
"A spell was cast,
And Earth pummeled by the gale;
They summoned frost,
And Metropolis bled by sharpened hail.

Glacial downpour,
Mage-winds had toppled the Towers of Gold;
Great powers that were,
Cannibalized by ego and pride."

Ok, first round of editing. I think this is better.
