Lyrics
The Litany
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Once I was a mortal man
Now I traverse the realms beyond
The material plane is but a crossroads
The epicenter of a temporal abyss.
Anchored by the webs of stasis
Made brittle through the ignorant years
At long last, I find passage
To elucidate with chaos and fear.
Once among the mortals, I elected to ascend
To seek the truth and the answers
At whatever the cost or end
Now, beyond all sanity, I've come to realize
That the aegis of morality
Is just a seal of lies.
Once abjured by the Great Ones, imprisoned and obscured
Now driven by an eldritch hunger
No longer interred...
There is no natural cycle; no afterlife awaits
The universe is ruled by mindless gods
And you shall see them... when we emerge from the gates
