Transcendence

Velvet dreams of ebon darkness

Swirling like shadows, sepulchral and warm

Nightborn phantoms rend me painless

To a thousandfold aspects of blackness I'm torn

Sands of time are running backwards

To ages enshrouded by vast cloaks of gloom

Translucent tnedrils stretching outwards

Transcending the threshold of yesterday's doom

I wander landscapes godforsaken

Though crosses loom into an uncaring sky

Corpses decay 'long the paths I had taken

For sins born out of their hearts they had died

Ash clouds on red horizons gather

Emitting from stakes illuminating the night

For spirit, son and holy father

Their hot, cleansing fire's devouring my bride

The saviour's sheep now flock the scaffold

Their hypocrite faces are frozen in glee

Witness my loved one's torture untold

Our unison wailing in agony

And as the thirteenth candle flickered

My past life laid plain as a book before me

I'll walk in wrath amongst the wicked

Preach Christendom's fall into eternity
