I

As I

Roam these tenebrous halls

Fading mirrors seized an

image of what

I once was

and no more shall be

I tried to salve my wounds with silver tears

of fallen stars

In the windswept garden of grief

Long ago

In all the dimensions waiting somewhere

With honor and malevolent pride

I'll praise the streams of black arcanum

Transfused into my mind

Mesmerized by frail dreams and illusions

Awaken far beyond terrene dole

May sinews of this power indwell

forever in my soul

Black streams running through

my veins

Like a virulent

poison

Free from the gyves of age and space

to find boundless wisdom

Black streams running through

my veins

Like a vital elixir

Those who went through the flaming gateway

shall domineer the worlds

II

Multiplied

in the prismatic crystal of time,

Pain extinguished the last vestige of light

Through the eclipse ablaze

Midnight bled magic

I drank deep

from the goblet

of the dark

to break this curse

of mortal life once and for all

Before three hundred moons passed by

The black rain gushed down from the sky

And spirits blessed a fiery gust

that brought my heart from flesh to dust
