The Priest by CatMArts on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Very nice. What's oddly striking is how normal his hair looks. From there you get a strong hint of how human he'd be if he had a proper nose and sufficient skin et all. I think that works in his favor, one who twists others into demonic kin is to the sight a herald of what is to come.

A quality and memorable image, and thus as is my wont and as my username implies, I've spun some verses on this grinning Priest of yours. Hope you enjoy:

An almost human shape,

Yet far too little skin;

A skull's own nose,

A priest's own clothes,

A corpse's eyes

But worst of all, his grin.

A village in the night,

By his order swarmed and sacked,

Its people stole,

Both flesh and soul,

Into his lair

Are rendered up for wrack.

Screaming, pleading and prayer,

Ever echo in vain;

The demon priest

Will see increased

The hordes of Hell,

The cause of hate and pain.

Hold your loved ones closely,

Hope your souls are spared,

For such a plight

Comes with the sight

Of that dread-Priest

Before each Christian-snared.
