All control is lost

Senses deprived

Deaf ears still hear the malign



The altars crumbling

Cloak of obscurity

A crown wrapped tight around you neck

Gaunt hands to hold you back



I've seen the world in a new light

No holy shrines

Nothing to resemble eternal life



Now turning back I see,

What could have been but never was

A pressure so dense,

Upon my chest it could paralyze



Lucid



A mask forced upon me

Impaled by fear



Stones drag to the riverbed below

Below



Death is here

And he's been clawing at my thoughts again

Forever drowning in perdition



Submerged in azure waters
