I Am the ageless adversary

My breath is tempest

My eyes dance with shadows

My lair is the void

Begotten in oblivion

My crown bejeweled in wantonness

My kingdom lies between

I Am the sovereign of emptiness

My kingdom shines between

Nothingness manifests

Do I elude you?

For you could never fathom

And so you doubt me

But I precede thee

I withstand thee

Yet you...

Descend from me

As do your sons

As did your fathers

Formed as my reflection

Brief and fleeting

As if...

The crashing waves were still

Were still!

But if only for a moment

Until I reclaim you

And devour your existence

Your legacy

And your purpose

Until I rend the stars

And tear the world asunder

I Am Genesis and the Eschaton

And after all this divine plan

Was really my own

Gods and heroes have struggled against me

As if they didn't know

As if they didn't know

Prima Materia

Prima Tempestas

Prima Nocte

Prima Certanum

My fangs tear at Yggdrasil

I encircle the earth

My venom weeps upon the chastised

My fruit bears the nectar of the exiled

My heart is wildfire

My name is Malice-Striker
