The Vaultventurer

One night I ventured the vaults

One night I entered godforsaken halls

One night I descended down stairways to caves unknown

Fo I had abandoned my strength to seek for lights to own.

Howling winds afar, they dwelled

And lured as to embrace and consume a life

Which cursed the skies, the light of day

For mankind, mind and treasure's decay.

In want of murder, in want of faith

I stumbled, spiralled down steps and gazed

And felt the cold of night behind and soon no more

Where the laws to abide...

'Twas the void I followed, tunnels, grime the screams of mental beasts.

Echoes so hollow, conducted entities of voices in a gony

I witnessed stars that never fade, up in fluorescent skies

Ablaze as to preach of time's demise.

I witnessed creatures, wretched and dugged crations

Adapted to the tiles in squares, in sleazy shades they crawled

Too close to rails they linger, too pale this emptiness

To resist the leap's temptation at the first sound of the horn

Shall this be the last of journeys taken?

Or shall I, crouched in hallways, be destined to awake

To ascend, and venture further

I ascend and venture far

To venture the vaults forever
