Death, The Great Adventure |
| Sometimes red curtains fall |
| Before the act has headed for the wings |
| As on that night disaster crawled out from the stalls… |
| Suddenly the dark, the thickest Stygian dark |
| Pressing on all sides with vertigo |
| Running from the quickest in the sickest abyss |
| My spirit’s lifted by an angel of woe |
| A dredged up dreadful past |
| Drags discordant thoughts my way |
| Unforgiven and driven to despair |
| I sense the mordant wraith Azazel |
| Standing there |
| Now the vision simmers |
| I spy a distant gleam |
| Racing ever closer |
| Through this persistent dream |
| And by its welcome glimmer |
| Writhing into sight |
| The brutish groping nightmares |
| That hide beside the light |
| Then a roar |
| And a voice like a pride of lions |
| Thunders from the maw |
| In a blackened mass |
| The creatures flee |
| Screaming bloody murder as |
| A shining gateway opens for me |
| Death, the great adventure |
| At the peril of my soul |
| I welcome death, the great avenger |
| Spared this awful realm |
| Where those who stalk the living haunt the murk |
| Untethered pleasures keep them tied to flawed |
| Humana |
| I’m floating upward still, to where the tunnel mouth reveals |
| Two Manitcores that ward an ebon door |
| I muster that resolve, as the luminance dissolves |
| And I am thrust headlong before their venomous jaws |
| I am in darkness again |
| But here accursedness is vastly deeper |
| Unforgiven and given to torment |
| I am nothing |
| Grotesque, grotesque, bereft of judgment |
| This abyss, a voice |
| Where stripped of all but Self |
| One must wish to be destroyed |
| To pass on somewhere else |
| Beyond this pit of wicked shouts |
| Madness and fallacies |
| Aeons I failed to rail my doubts |
| Before fear left love saving me |
| Then a roar |
| And a voice like the clash of Titans |
| Thunders from the maw |
| In a seething mass |
| The horrors flee |
| Screaming bloody murder as |
| A shrouded sky opens immensely |
| Listen! |
| What Eden shall arise |
| Abundant from the cliffs that stunt Hell’s repundant cries? |
| A view of breathtaking beauty |
| Unveils, as the sun disperses |
| Perversities |
| Death, the great adventure |
| For the glory of my soul |
| I welcome death, the great avenger |
| The damaged man revies |
| With dawning truth, this morning suits |
| The world I left abruptly |
| In exaltation, I find myself alive |
| Near-death to steer a life long-led corruptly |
| The sweet silver chord that keeps me moored |
| I know that heaven sent her |
| From the cold to hold her face again |
| I rose from death, the great adventure |
