Fathomless
Trapped Torn from the life I’ve known since time began Bound Confined To a prison invisible but omnipresent Isolated Tormented Finally forgotten and ignored I felt myself eternal I felt myself immortal Now just endless days which offer no respite No escape Solitary Veiled threats, hearts full of lies Dreams are dead Hope is lost No escape from this tedium Dreams are dead Hope is lost Still I endure Trapped Moments pass like hours Hours pass like days Empires rise and fall each breath I take I am immortal I am eternal Yet I remain trapped in this life Glimmers of hope Compound despair As the days all become one Biding my time I will outlast Until I find a way to break free Dreams take flight Has too much damage been done? Can the wrongs be righted? A weakened shell of what once was Bent, but not broken Exhausted, but determined Bent, but not broken

All consuming rage Fills me with every step Sleights real and imagined Echoes of loss and pain Images of deceit Still running through my mind Retribution Will not be denied I would walk through flames And deserts of burning sand To have my vengeance Hell itself can’t stop me Through the wood of suicides Up stairs that run with blood Hell itself won’t stop me No pits of fetid mud Nor Hell’s city Dis Can stop my revenge Righteous indignation lights my path Singlemindedness drives me Until I have my reprisal No beast of judgement Leopard, lion, or wolf No better angels to dissuade me Through the distant fog I smell putrescent flesh Hear the weeping shadows Air full of sighs and dust Enter the circle of violence The deep and savage way Cross the lake of fire Traverse the icy plains Unmoved by pain, Agony, and ecstasy Castigation Hell can’t stop me Through the wood of suicides Up stairs that run with blood Hell itself won’t stop me No pits of fetid mud Nor Hell’s city Dis Can stop my revenge Righteous indignation lights my path Singlemindedness drives me Until I have my reprisal No beast of judgement Leopard, lion, or wolf Vengeance is mine

Hard truths or comfortable lies? In a world falling apart at the seams A dark underbelly of broken dreams Famine, disease, abject stupidity Modern serfdom, vapid nobility Growth is progress, consume more You’re only as good as your net worth Grow ever increasingly bitter Sell your labor to the lowest bidder Do you hear the hard truths or just the comfortable lies? Lies. Tell them lies All the little lies that we tell ourselves to get through another day All the little lies that we tell ourselves to show the world we’re not afraid All the little lies that we tell each other to avoid resentments All the little lies that we tell each other to hide our own failings Do you really want the truth, or shall I tell you more lies? Do you want to know all the ugly truths of the world we live in? Would you feel better with grievances laid bare? Could you sleep at night if you knew how much you’re truly hated? Would we co-exist without all the little lies we tell? Hard truths and comfortable lies

A force unknowable and inevitable Drawing ever closer, growing ever stronger Unstoppable. Eternal. Locked in a cycle of creation and Destruction. A growing storm on the horizon A tempest churning up the sea Fires blaze across the landscape The ground trembles and the walls come down Ordered chaos collapses into blackness The beginning and the end All is one and none, begun and done Until the cycle starts again Tear it all down Burn it all down Build anew And learn from our mistakes Burn it all down Welcome Death And start with a clean slate Destroyer of worlds Bringer of rebirth Cleansing fires Collapsing stars Burn it all down Build anew Burn it all down Burn it all down

If you could escape death How long would you run? As the centuries pass Fortunes come and go Everyone you’ve known is gone Would you choose to remain? As a living ghost As sands of time Slip through the hourglass And the world you know is gone All that you’ve loved All that you’ve hated Fades into the distant past With nothing left to motivate you Nothing left to agitate you Would you truly be alive? As sands of time Continue falling When would you finally welcome death? Eternal existence is torment Welcome death Eternal existence is torment Welcome death How many lifetimes are enough? Until you’re bored with life Nothing left to accomplish No one to share your joys and pains Why would you keep on running? Welcome death’s embrace As sands of time Slip through the hourglass And the world you know is gone All that you’ve loved All that you’ve hated Fades into the distant past With nothing left to motivate you Nothing left to agitate you Would you truly be alive? As sands of time Continue falling Will you finally welcome death?

The light fades all around you Everything devoid of warmth A figure stands before you Beckoning you towards We all get but one lifetime Be it days or years Fear not when your time comes Your suffering is done The mysteries of the universe Soon will be laid bare Outside of time and space You’re guided from this plane Scientists and theologians Yearn to know what you’ll soon learn Come find your destiny Return now to the stars Accept that it’s now over The page has been turned All questions will be answered With the flapping of black wings Eternity Or nothingness Formless voids Endless abyss Look to the stars That give no light Carry me away on black wings Rejoice Your time has been served Gone from this earth You’re finally free The trial has ended The verdict is reached Your sentence of life Is completed in full You have been released Just one lifetime It’s yours to waste Do what thou wilt With the time you are granted Just one lifetime Live without regret No expectation Of some just reward Carry me away on black wings I shall not fear death

On the razors edge Swirling winds and shadows Dark and ever lengthening A choice must be made Divergence Between the hammer and the anvil Damnation and reprisal Moral ambiguity On the razors edge No clear path forward The way behind thorned and Shrouded in prophecies of The discarded remnants of the earth Create. Destroy. Construct. Destruct Slip away like a whisper in the wind Drifting, moving, never returning Shadow, specter, unseen wanderer Rootless, dislodged, adrift all alone Solitary existence, forced isolation Disconnected from the tethers to reality Slipping closer to madness Coming closer to the end The path of bleak reality Could I? Should I? Would I? Create. Destroy. Forsake. Forge ahead. Into the uncertainty Leave behind the familiar Embrace the chaos and agony The path, unknown Somnambulant Devoid of dreams On the razors edge Tempests black and churning Tribulations abound Choices were made Sacrifice Become the hammer and the anvil Creation, preparation Moral lucidity Off the ledge Moving only forward The way ahead thorned and Shrouded in mysteries of the things we leave behind
