To rise

above the ashes

a blaze in the new moon sky

to fight

struggle eternal

in the violence and frost filled night

this world is a prison

of humanity's making

i seek to escape

to greater vistas

dark shadow visions

beyond comprehension

i light the candles

and begin the ritual

to rise

above the ashes

of modernity

my struggle

never ending

in a world not

made for me

astral plane traveller

dark cloaked figures

a burned effigy

to forces unknown

obscure rituals

blood painted sigils

im climbing a hill

with a shrine at the peak

to rise

above the ashes

of modernity

my struggle

never ending

in a world not

made for me
