Coordinates set, dropping in the zone

Lush forest deceptive in its greeting

Wildflowers smell, intoxicates fervor

Beasts lurk behind brush, doesn't tire

Pressing onward 23,000 years

Mocking presence of unusual being

Yelping at ghosts howling through the mind

No one there to help, staying alive is fine

Around each bend something to behold

Comes again illusion, the curse unfolds

Knees weakened, star and ice

Collide in vision, unveils time

Ripping torment is expressed

crushes lungs, burning chest

Cooling bones, glacier carves

Peaks before me, trembling arms

Melting path fades away

Forge again a debt to pay

Now it lies straight ahead

Extreme exhaustion, nearly dead

End of earth, limitless folds

Quest conquered, soul is cold

Retreating home riding high

up and down until one dies

Menace-maker is the light that grants false perception
