The dark night of the soul
Loses it's grip as it's dank powers slip
Into the waxing moon
that ominously drifts in the palpable mist
I sit on an isle
In a marsh, cold and harsh , of my personal farce
The SFAGNUM around me
A presence compelling, it's fragrance is telling that
DAWN SHALL END THIS
Night than makes the darkest shades of black turn grey
An ink-soaked vault of heaven, no star shall penetrate
A darkness unimaginable, but for whom dwellt in it's depths
A residence of horrors, no man can comprehend
But driven by my conciousness, I longed to have them nigh
To uncloak arcane secrets and share their ancient minds
But too long have I been here and I found myself alone
I am counting down the night and awaiting the new dawn
I accompanied Hekate, stretch her veil across the sky
I staggered with the Nightbreed, felt the leper's dying sigh
I spat fire on my wizard, let his rage rain down on me
Drew power from his power and disdained his empathy
I hunted down the haunted and joined their nocturnal blight
Absorbed so much obscurity that I towered above the night
But in the end it all means nothing, I saw the void in every core
The rapture of the rupture of the shroud I pulled above me
Was more powerfull than anything I ever felt before
One by one I count the rays, that rise up in the sky
ONE, and I'm stabbed in the chest by the radiant rays
Of this all consuming fire
TWO, and my left wrist receives it's death kiss
By a secon d burning wire
A THIRD pulls my arms ineroxably (open) wide
As a crucifixion begun
And the FOURTH nails my feet so that I'm forced to face
The absolute power of the setting sun
Despite all the pain, I seem to find comfort in this position
Reborne, renamed, I incarnate the one true religion
I embrace my destiny, give by God and into the sun I rise
Scholared by darkness, empowered by light, I'll now force this world the Doctrine of
