Streams of shadows flow

Through the center of the soul

To cross these rivers

Is to abandon life

Towards inner obliteration,

Walk the bridge of self decay

None other than yourself

Paved the way

Welcome not the arrival of -a force hiding far within

no trace of origin, its purpose inconceivable

visions of hate caress my eyes birthing reasons for its deceit

these sights aren't meant to be seen but their motives will soon be known

fear descends from the top of my flesh

coursing through my veins burning blood spreading like a virus unleashed.

Shambles of destiny, razor sharp

molten down for the empty injection of stygian agony

teeth sink into wasted flesh, like the faces of the reaped

Step upon the obsidian steps on through the sanctum of the shadows

plummet beneath those whom feast from below in the inextinguishable blaze of hades

All I once was, now flashing right before my eyes

Impossible patterns with no meaning,make perfect sense

Chained in the chamber of chaos

deterioration of the black

you will never find what you were searching for, it doesn't exist

as you glimpse back... into the mirror

your eyes implode in emptiness your mind collapses

dragged through the jagged fragments of a shattered will.

Discordant afflictions - reveal the unknown - buried within me - in the sanctum of the shadows

channels to my soul - left open for echoes of hope to enter,

have been meet - with complete silence

distorted by the negative hollow of the endless abyss

waiting for an echo that never comes dissipating in solitary darkness.
