The Secret Fate of All Life

Atop a mountain high, a temple carved in bone A shadowed form and I left to palaver alone “There is a void between all space & time, at its heart, a tower. An ancient monument to creation from which existence draws its power.” A nexus in time “All life flows from The Tower, Where an eternity can seem like a minute. Find The Ancient at its center, enshrined in chambers within.” “Be wary, Traveler. Your fate will be revealed.” I look towards the shadowed form But the man had ceased to be Nothing now but a looming mist and a pile of bones picked clean I close my eyes and hope to be awakened from this dream A sudden vertigo washes over me and as I open my eyes I see myself ascending, drifting through the sky Onwards toward The Void Where my fate lies...

A cosmic wall of cloud Cloaking an ocean of stars A deathly cycle An untold history repeats No form left to tell its tale The mists roll in From the depths of The Void Devastating everything that ever was Radiating through the cosmos The mists will return As in the past They will leave no trace All form, all life, all matter All will be erased The mists that destroy The mists that devour Wipe clean it all The mists that destroy The mists that devour Wipe clean it all

I emerge from the great black hole Traversing a dark new realm Infinite darkness beyond As far as these eyes can tell This is unfathomable! How do I go on from here? Maybe I am beyond death Is this my hell? On I drift between nothing and nowhere The Void is becoming my home A silent wind now blowing Freezing each and every bone Stricken with fear Yet somehow at peace with this place Maybe I'll abandon my quest Maybe I'll stay... Lulled by The Nothing Wind Waging internal war The desire to float in the black The need to go on A haze far off in the distance Gives life to unknown forms Maybe there's hope for me yet I must go on

Descending deeper down into The Abyss An iridescent glow lights the path Primal howls and movement in the shadows Fearful of what lies ahead Do these eyes deceive? Never could one imagine such monstrosities Here in The Abyss of Organic Forms From all cast off matter sick creatures are born Colossal, nefarious, feared, and maligned All forms decayed and corrupted thrive Here in The Abyss of Organic Forms Where torment rains down in perpetual storm Enough to murder the strongest of minds Mental paralysis, sanity unwinds My only salvation is The Tower I must see the end of this Death lurks behind every corner But I must survive The Abyss My only salvation is The Tower I must see the end of this All goes quiet now A chill fills the air My burden has carried me here All I can do is stare I am there How much time has passed on this journey? Will I ever forget what I saw in The Abyss? My fate lies inside the walls of this tower I must finish this

In the shadow of the monolith The Tower stands tall, time stands still Into the antechamber of this eternal place My eyes lock with another's Shrouded in deathly mist I have reached the end The Ancient's voice in my head Decrepit, yet loud and clear "You have been summoned here to take my place. The mists start to flow again, all will be laid to waste. All matter in the universe must start again anew. You will wait, you will watch, you will rebuild This fate falls upon you. For years and years you shall walk The Void, as I have in my time. Eradication and rebirth is the secret fate of all life."

I cannot be killed To me death does not exist I travel freely through the cosmos The creatures cower in The Abyss The Ancient did this to me From this burden I want free I must oversee the end of life A new existence I must seed The Void has become all I know The crumbling tower is my home Voidwalker Burdened with a power all too great Recreator Cursing the day I discovered this fate For centuries I've waited For the mists to do their work I've seen galaxies devastated Planets vanishing in the murk Impervious to all But this sorrow that I feel Everything I ever loved Was destroyed in front of me The Void has become all I know The crumbling tower is my home Voidwalker Burdened with a power all too great Recreator Cursing the day I discovered this fate
