Intuitive dreams, an inner flow Synergy of visions, the seventh sight Darkness surrounds the fear that refines Journeys heighten the plateau Nothing before knowing, time and the after Emptiness perceived in hindsight If this will end in failure I cannot lose by daring the conflict Minds engorged, brimming with sickness Scared of the suffocating chase Protector, defender, champion condemned Not beyond but all within understanding Perversion is surrendering choice Corruption of purpose Weakness spurred by the waste of an oath Extinguish the groveling flesh Beasts roll in nightmares, bodies found in sunrise No foes but self to mar the way I will succeed where the mighty have failed Because I am not them Compa** of infinite stray desires Light the clay black as love Bites precious the eternal realm Burning the ruler's requiem Standing restless Transcending fantasy Nights of thought beyond all craving I'm in the sun, hiding and lost But at the bane of the newest day Blood of the pure will howl as fire Quaking outward from the fault Strange are the moments as chance recedes Yet I continue against the face Covered by the frothing dark My voice is still my own
