Savage Death-A Repeat

Yes, it's another repeat, but I've been so creatively barren that you must forgive me...

Savage luminosity glimmering in yellow eyes
rapacious wanderings, tearing hunger ripping our insides.
Beasts with pointed advantage
preternatural strength, wicked teeth tear through flesh
with the slightest provocation, no protection
from the evil that lurks in the shadows.
Bewildering misfortune falls upon you this night
no reprieve from the pain and agony
fated to befall you; incoherent ramblings, piercing screams
puncture the darkness, shattering the silence
of the slumbering world; have you fallen into disfavor
with the gods? Have they abandoned you to
death and dishonor? It matters not to us,
the predators seeking their prey,
ruthless victors in a game so cruel,
we devour you without pity or remorse.
