Durance of Lightless Horizons
From an age long before A people misplaced by time Knowledge passed down from origins unknown Searching the skies for the one they praised They who sang of the distant whorl And danced among their idol Tracking the movements of their god in darkness far Worshipping the wandering devourer Irreal, unseen Nomad of the void Vortex insatiate Formless consumer of light Gaseous vagabond A relic born from prime Ancient gluttony Driven toward the bright Raking luminancе Untangling the form Funneling within Inhaling the warmth To thе skies they had cried Praising lightless horizons beyond A beacon, their devotion became Signals to that distant one If you look back to them now You'll see not but a trace As if a people vanishing Like the snuffing of a thousand flames Upward drawn they embraced their fate Coiled within gas-hewn filaments of light

Putrid horror Hulking mass Mangled fetish Deformed wretch Birthed from the earth Conceived in the stars Waxen pallor Mycelium kin Deity imposter Ageless troglodyte Blind in sight through gibbous eyes But seer still into those worlds beyond Birthed from the earth Conceived in the stars Wrought from the void Caged to this form In night it bides In silence it lay In caverns it lurks Entangled beneath the crust Ancient roamer Vile ancestor Shrouded in darkness Skulking the depths Submerged titan Lost within the rock Waterlogged, wandering One among the slime Birthed from the earth Conceived in the stars Wrought from the void Father to us all

Captured by the heretical sect Imprisoned in their vile chapel Starved to a weakened state For the baneful liturgy that is to come The bells are ringing Beckoning my demise My offering the purpose of these rites My body cleaned and scrubbed Baptized in waters dark Sacred symbols seared on my flesh The grooming now complete the cloakеd drag me to my fate My end is nеaring Am I the sacrifice For their undead god to arise? Delivered to the altar lich The necromancers gather around The decayed wizard holds the ancient dagger They chant their master's name as the blade begins to plunge My blood is flowing I am the sacrifice That has awakened their undead god to life

We traversed that barren tundra An expedition sent to lands afar Breaking through the ice and snow To find that ancient cavern, a temple from ages lost I am the grantor Of that which you become By torchlight we entered those frozen tunnels Searching for signs of that buried god Deeper we explored those dark, glaciated depths Until there, encased in ice, we witnessed its waking form I am the grantor Of that which you become Gaze into my eyes And behold all life Eternity granted motion Unending moments, infinite parcel Enthralled by its power It spoke to us all Forever captivated We each became servants to its cause I am the grantor Of that which you become Gaze into my eyes And behold all life For I am the one who dwells beyond time

Sunken deep within an untouched gorge Hidden behind a shroud of petrified wood There lay a pile of discarded bones A hurried and cramped ancient burial ground A skeletal glyph Mark of a realm unknown Unnatural indent Horror inscribed in bone They who descended to explore those depths And unearth our savage primal history Compelled to excavate the dregs of the lost As if drawn by some decaying undead force To find thosе bones To read those marks Fadеd with time Revealed through ossified breath A language found A voice beheld A past argot A tongue revived A shrine of fear A primitive hex A prison of bone A bloodline curse A skeletal glyph Mark of a realm unknown Unnatural indent Horror inscribed in bone A skeletal glyph Primordial dialect To read such inscription Is to speak with our beyond They found those marks They read those bones Ossified by time Language invoked through our death

I—incarcerated Inside—this stone fortress Caged—I am forgotten Alone—left to decay I—cannot recall My fate—to this dark castle Escape—merely a dream My refuge—a longing fantasy Malevolent spirits Waters tumultuous Pitfalls into darkness Endless... I wander these catacombs Corridors winding into the abyss My way lit by dying candlelight Catching fleeting glimpses of the damned Nightmarish creatures Lurking among pools obsidian Gibbering madness, undead terrors Waiting to feast on my sanity An existence without rеst Condemned to wander this dungеon A darkness eternal Doomed entrapment The winds that howl beyond bear my name Woeful curses from a day I'll never see I—restless dead Aimless—forever astray Cursed—a floe of bones Drifting ever—in sleepless fear Malevolent spirits Waters tumultuous Pitfalls into darkness Endless labyrinth Existence without rest Condemned to wander this dungeon Existence coursing in hex Condemned, I this wandering dungeon No matter how far I wander through time I'll never break free From this durance of lightless horizons
