|
|
Like the tide, shadows flow towards the shore of light.
|
The night comes whirling like a maelstrom.
|
Warring waves of crackling clouds embrace this nightside landscape.
|
The heavens bleed, through open wounds, the dim light of the Moon.
|
The winds are crying mournfully and tears fly with the gusts.
|
They whip my clenched faces freezing skin with ice-cold burning cuts.
|
|
Too long I have suffered the desert sands of time.
|
But as I drown in darkness it will release the sign.
|
My soul will leave this mortal coil of flesh and earthly life,
|
to fly into the mist of night, into the nightside eclipse,
|
and experience existence on the other side.
|
|
As a stone of scorching enthusiasm
|
I refract the reflecting surface of this unfathomable sea.
|
Growing circles of grief and pain slides across the land
|
as an omen of the horror yet to come.
|
|
The strength of a thousand fire-breathing demons
|
breed in my infernal, sinking soul.
|
And as I reach the surface once again
|
these powers are under my control.
|
Now I am one with the night sky majesty.
