Haled From Aether

Defy the nobel Renounce your oath Drink from the dark well Draped in wroth Ascend the cold steps A mountain’s grown Awake the giant A master’s throne Oathbreaker Incantator In the cosmic vast Echoes chase my soul I drift alone Silent path Outcast ‘warlock’ Mad powers binding Banished from Earth Hounded

Sojourning comes to an end Becoming, colors bend Take flight as I transcend I’ll have to learn how to live again Arcane Satellites Lightning in the sky Celestial Wraith A wayward leviathan Burning as plots portend Kingdoms and realms descend His foes he will rend, In silhouette, my heart shall mend Arcane Satellites Lightning in the sky Celestial Wraith A Wayward Leviathan The Shadow of the Past? The Shadow of the Future? The Shadow at your door… Wayward, senseless and has no love I’ll take all that you have And be on my way

Dark decree Shadows weep Onslaught Haled from aether Feed the circle In strife and strife Set no bearing Troves are rife Overtaking All the world The veil of time Eternal life Skies Tremble Onslaught Haled from aether Raze! Pulverize the earth Incite terror Evoke mass panic With pandemonium Cloak the realm Stoke the tempest

Drown In tears from my sorrow Encased in a plight Lost In fears of tomorrow Displaced from my mind In constellation Or am I blind Headlong ascension Or paralyzed Communication Aphasia Savant projection Dementia In the depths of solitude It’s monachopsis Overwhelming … Enveloping … Suffocating It’s monachopsis

Wounded and beaten down Underestimated I’ve given all I have And paying back with penance Revive me! All alone Missing home Will it ever end I’ll hurt myself again I know I’ve walked astray I’m falling away

Out are the lights—out all! Over each quivering form, The curtain, a funeral pall, Comes down with the rush of a storm, While the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling Uprising, unveiling, affirm That the play is the tragedy, “Man,” And its hero, the Conqueror Worm The Conquering worm! Through the mist I sailed the stormy seas, Prophecies, elusive as the breeze. Compass lost, no stars to light my way, The night is long, and shadows overstay. Voyage ill sought Mountains high, I climbed with bleeding hands, Summit reached, all desolate lands. Lost in the valleys of despair and grief, Seeking solace in a false belief. Voyage ill sought Illusions broken, like glass upon the floor, Bonds once held tight, now forever torn. Eyes once bright, now weary and fraught, Left handed path, a voyage ill sought. Waves crash down Pull me apart Devoured Please just give me another day Annihilation Silence deafens, I drift away. Annihilation All that once was, becomes decay Annihilation
