Desperate screams to embittered darkness Ripped from the throat by oppressive winds Air stolen from lungs with immaterial hands Collapse into the earth, regretful eyes dark With trepidation, steps are taken from light Grey shadowy clouds coat the enflamed skies Marking the point where chaos embraced And enshrouding hands reached into oblivion The black wispy tendrils of hatred entangle Piercing the night-time, haunting those who sleep A spectral abysm that forever creeps forward Encircling the heart and tightening its grasp Deeper into the unknown, fragile steps occur Guided by fleeting lights, and glassy whispers With trepidation, falling into blackness again Unable to rise and breath, join the dark eternally In the dark grey ruins, under a sky that weeps Night falls upon a dying cold sun that bleeds This is where the soul flees to die in the dirt With trepidation, the body falls into the void

It rises again, the twisted sense of dread Blossoming into ash laden skulls Eyes turned towards the depths of hatred Where the darkness once was content Whispered curses and prayers unknown To try and summon remaining hope From the chasm where it lay to die Castrated and betrayed, dwelling in loathing The wound is reopened, tasting despair An offering to the uncaring shadowy sky True treachery, unbeknownst it came out Puncturing the soul, and draining it of light It rises again, the twisted sense of dread Blossoming into ash laden skulls Eyes turned towards the depths of hatred Where the darkness once was content The whispers of the night wind Commands the heart to cease and die Lest life continue and consume it all Transform under the moon into nothing The wound is reopened, betrayed again Summoning annihilation from infernos maw Treachery came from cross and the spire Raping and defiling the soul, and draining it of light

Stars fade within the eye of the mind Gods die, under the decaying temples touch Bodies wither and collapse, visions of eternity blinding Enter the kingdom of bone, where time reigns undying Dead hands reach from the decaying light To claw at the wretched, hated living souls To lead them down to the eternal sleep A dismal dreary universe, devoid of breath The accursed cold grounds of the earth A grave formed of the dying breaths Of thousands falling into unknown spheres Absconding from the abyss of existence Lamenting final prayers pulled away Torn and reformed on funeral winds Falling into realms forgotten by man Lit by solitary light of the bloodied moon Aeons pass in swirling vortexes Formed of bloodied sigils and scars On suicidal abysmal wings reborn in dust Shepherding in the tormented rebirth of eternity Stars fade and the mind frays and dies Gods die, under the decaying temples touch The bloodied moon shines high, agonised screams fade Enter the kingdom of bone, eternal in time

Part 1: Light Raising my arms towards the birthing sun Dragged away from the shadowy realms To bask into the dawning glow around A world unknown to those once blind Trees release an emerald glow outward That falls upon our faces made glistening Turned into jewels under the suns gaze Standing in the light, warmth returning Where I once stood, such joy did not exist Here amongst the world of living souls Where I followed your glow through night The shadows have retreated once more Part 2: Dark Your tears fall as rain, nourishing Falling on my face as I rise to see From the bottom of this pit I stare Your eyes glisten as crystal under the moon Turning away from your gaze Towards the ensnaring shadows And the pull of the pale starlight Illuminating my decaying realm of despair Nightmares begin shaping reality And the light grows fainter Here I stand betwixt light and dark Pulled one way, and then the other And here I stand betwixt light and dark Bewitched by the blackness surrounding But dragged towards light by glistening souls Before falling once more into the beneath

Obsidian steps leading towards truth Carrying forward the seed into the light Eyes open to witness the turn of the sun And hands stretch forth towards the earth Turning towards the black cascade Bloodied and broken bodies contorted To witness the endless expanse of oblivion Miniscule figures under the hand of Gods Celestial chariot pulling the moon forward Stars cast recklessly into the blackness Hands reach from the earth towards the deep Portraits in the heavens brought downward Sacred fires eternally burning in shadow Blind children wrapped in blankets of stars Eyes turned towards the endless expanse The hand of the Gods brought down again Collapsing upon the obsidian steps Turning towards the black cascade The seed decayed and crumbled to dust The hands grow old and wither in light Turning towards the black cascade Discarded eyes watch the fires dwindling As heavens fall and become dust in time Phantasmal celestials fade into unlit past Celestial chariot chasing the dwindling sun Stars abandoned to burn into the night Hands reach from the earth towards the deep The secrets of the moon reflected in black seas

The light of the black candle flickers Casting a growing shadow across the way Illuminating dead eyes, crystallised Shimmering in the tears forming in ice Unhallowed vastlands, formed by memory Skeletal forests, reaching into the fog A world of desolation forming inside the frame Reaching ever outward, spreading its wings Jaded eyes and melancholic thoughts Growing ever colder, dejected and lifeless The hands reach forward, clutching the fog Seeping from the vessel, empty and unformed The black candle goes out, wispy smoke rises Desolation moves ever forward, spreading The vessel falls to its knees, dust trailing beneath The wings envelop the frame, the cycle complete
