KILLING FIELDS



DARK BACK  STREET   ALLEY S
STACKED   CRATES  OF   SHAPELESS   SHAPES
DEEP   DESCENDING  CORRIDORS
HORRORS   OF   WAR

VERDANT   GREEN   BLOOD-STAINED  VALLEYS
ENDLESS   CEMETERIES
PRAIRIES OF   THE   DECEASED
AVENUES  OF   THE   UNTOLD   TRUTH

ANCHORED SHIPS
DIS-CARDED   ABANDONED WRECKS
SAND-SWEPT   WINDMILLS   SLOWLY TURNING  IN   THE   MIST

KILLING   FIELDS WITH   A   GREAT   SOUND-TRACK
