I ignored the warnings
Every omen shouted to turn back
But I could not stray
The smell of blood goads me on
The doomed hound sprinting
Towards the edge of a cliff

"Ever life" or F I N?
The uncanny faces stare in silent challenge
Seeking out the kindred dark
The red-clawed beast in me
Cheshire smirk and hollow eyes
Beguiling lies to banish light

Cannot trust my treacherous senses
Hypnotized by parlor tricks and puppetry
Face the corruption clothed in stolen youth
Countenances shifting day to night
Like a fever dream

Beneath the valley
I have witnessed
The broken ouroboros
And felt the pull
Of providence
As time contracts

Collider of realities
Not dead, but merely dreaming
Awaiting the promised provender
The ninth of nine has fallen

Blood channels through circuitry
Oil the engine of collapse
The kaleidoscope revolves
Widening the cracks

Black on shining black
The wounds weep with unborn menace
Stare into the churning void
And hear the echo of alien mockery
Maddened by the macrocosmic view

"Ever life" or F I N?
The uncanny faces stare in silent challenge
Seeking out the kindred dark
The red-clawed beast in me
Cheshire smirk and hollow eyes
Beguiling lies to banish light

"Ever life" or F I N?
The uncanny faces stare in silent challenge
Seeking out the kindred dark
The red-clawed beast in me
Cheshire smirk and hollow eyes
Beguiling lies to banish light

The fissure pulsates black and crimson
Eggshell surface trembling
The empty space within contracts
Threatening the so-called order
A doorway or a beacon
Demigods and worms alike
All must bow in reverence
