Beneath The Catacombs of Celephaïs
...As I awoke in a slumbered haze Strange memories and delusions Of Celephaïs echo within the confines of my waking mind Descending fires and cycles repeating Looping back and reconnecting Memories of future visions of the monolith Hallucinations of the never-seen I remember the stairs leading down to the lower chambers Earliest remains of the great war Stale air permeated with years of forgotten torture A chosen few must brave the psychotic labyrinth Many have failed A distant door swinging open A dark shadow looming, obscuring the light Wandering through the dark, Intoxicating sense of foreboding… beckoning me Hellish Fires of Dissent Sheets of flames that burn but not consume As the fire descended upon the piles of Nepenthe The inner chambers became infused with the intoxicating smoke Beneath the catacombs Of Celephaïs Seven dimensional being forming, engulfing the light Coming from everywhere and nowhere at once, Speaking in tongues that have never been uttered to human ears To other prescient entities within the outer realms The chosen few will perceive the being with closed eyes Only then will it give them the message Describing the nature of the dark forces plaguing our existence An infinite living mind Whose slimy and covetous fiber manifests, Perched atop a throne of bones It knows everything we know. We will not be safe here. Something wrong inside of me, I feel like there's a light... There’s a light inside of me. It's shining out from me. I cut my eyes out when I saw that light. What futures do I see? People becoming surrogate incubators for the alien young A gift. An amazing power. Becoming more than man Like a biblical salvation, I will die in the fire It is not a choice Ghastly ululation Unwholesome revelation Beneath the catacombs Celephaïs
