Hallow Suits

Heir looms
In dark causeways
Chainmail ladened
Iron clad mummies
Fixed to their posts
Mid knight Templars
Faintly lit
Soulless black eyes
Glare beneath shimmering helmets
Reflecting traveling candelabras
Gauntlet clasped blades
Murderous vertical shafts
Send heretics to the abyss of oblivion
One of the seven final resting places
Remember the words of Dante
Evil undone by more evil
Apocryphal
Staking claims
In fields of lycanthropic corpses
Reduced to standing watch
In the halls of heroes
Where history is written
Only by the winners
Behind fortified walls
Of kings
And liars
