Flood and Drought – (NehpetsEnal) #92


It seems I am to be the bearer of bad tidings

It appears I am the cleanser of human debauchery

I will arrive after forty days, and forty nights have passed

During which time, hell will rain down on earth

Humanity will be swept aside by my progeny

And the earth will be freed from its pestilence

Now I am drought, sent to dry the earth's crust

Turning rotting flesh and bones, to dust

I am the heavenly avenger

Do as you are told, for God won't tell you twice

Or I will be instructed to return

And wreak yet untold vengeance

It's a mute question, surely this is genocide
