Eidolon
Adrift and confused, I'm caught unaware No longer a child, but prey in a snare An innocent soul extracted for gain Nowhere I belong now that everything's changed Calamitous light descends from the sky My world is destroyed in the blink of an eye Once dazed by pretension, but given no choice Must rise to occasion, must find my own voice I am a survivor, I conquered the storm My wings burned to ash, but I'll fly my way home I'll fly my way home

You stand before the final dimension The darkness of eternity I am the one who impends Cast aside your hopes and wishes Face your mortality The zero sum that is the end I exist to bring nothingness A world without fear or suffering This is the path that life desires When all life lives only to die Foolish creatures, you've been deluded Only the void remains I am the embodiment of truth Don't deny the curse of birth Break free from your chains Accept that all must be removed This existence craves destruction I seek only perfect peace A world without war or hatred Where no life means none shall die None shall die You must know there's no other solution Why defy your destiny? How can life have purpose for the dead? I am eternal

Thoughtless visions of the dead Bear witness to the blood-soaked horrors From the walls of crimson red Ancient forms of flesh-wrought towers They reap the lives of our kin To recreate their realm of sin Creatures engineered without a name Empty receptacles, no will of their own Eldritch science built to reclaim On a foundation of flesh and bone The lidless gaze of their eye Summons destruction from the sky They are the chosen few Eternally damned Our bodies turn into The bricks of their land The eyes, they always see A cycle of pain and misery Tales of unholy blasphemy Terrors far beyond your imagining Scenes from a nightmarish memory Angels of death on silver wings They dance upon the graves of worlds Twisted monstrosities, a fortress of doom Invincible warlords of old Will resurrect their race anew

I awakened as a child Thrust into the jaws of destiny Infantile and naïve To this world on the brink I'm petrified in the grasp of mortal fear I'm terrified of the dangers creeping near Who am I to deny my primal weakness? Will I die? Is there light beyond the darkness? The others I see that look like me Do they even think or speak? Plagued by doubt, I struggle on To find the answers I seek I was born from nothing Forced into existential being Am I human or something else? Just a puppet on a string? I can't go on like this I don't want to feel this anymore How do you prove that you exist? What if we don't exist? The battle must go on This war within, it must be won But I won't let it take control My future is mine alone And when it's time to die My memories will be part of the sky
