Shamans chanting
Mystic ritual
Out of body
Visions of ancient cities
A temple high up on the mountain
Three wicked elders brought chaos, despair
They took the lives of many
Malformed grim souls
Distorted long robes
Hiding their true form
One dark silhouette
Visible in distant landscape
The only certainty
Constantly getting closer
What we won’t acknowledge
Realising the finitude of existence
A deep black fog
Disrupts
Silences the mind
Bearing witness to a civilizations downfall
Withered ruins in the wasteland
Shamans chanting
Mystic ritual
Out of body
The visionfades away

Departure

Awakening from obscure visions
Into harsh reality
Emptier and stained by time
Outsidelies an endless desert
Sky is covered in deeply dark clouds
Ash rains down
Panic and strong urge to leave this place drags my body outwards
Into the stony, arid emptiness
The truth
The answers might be found out there
As the horizon gets closer
Shadows fall
A vast land mass starts to emerge
Sky high, alone, majestic
In the middle of nothing
Seemingly endless distance
This travel will take its toll
The cost will be high
Yet, it will be worth everything
Firstly, the air is against me
With intense winds comes exhaustion, and this will be learned
Secondly, razor sharp stones under my feet
If a misstep is taken, blood will flow like rivers
And thirdly, no water to be seen
Lips cracking, sight is impaired, saliva is almost gone as my throat dries up
Still, I cannot stop
This strange force that’s pulling me
Further towards the summit
It's too much
The fatigue, this body ends here
Though the mind can keep on struggling
Two separate forces acting in symbiosis
If they don't work together this land will be my tomb
Hardly breathing
Catching the ground
As I fall on my knees
Pain radiates through this body
With one last breath
A scream up to the sky

Enslaved in this echoing chamber
Serving the meaningless purpose
Not chosen
Consumed by time
My mind asleep
These voices
Gaze upon the highest of mountains
To find the strength
A pining heart awakens
A yearning from within
Enlightenment
Entangled forever
With the shadow who follows
Determination
Unleashed
Ignite the slumbering power
Come forth
Rip apart the shackles
Deviate into the obscure
See beyond the gates
Merciless winds
Devours all doubt

Upheaval
11:54
|

The arrival of a shambolic tempest
The murk shadow within
Massive barrier with a deafening noise
The violent dust in the wind will rip, shred my skin
Fallen empire
Faded lines of pillars and statues
Broken, cracked
Standing firm, standing still
In this horrid place
No life to be seen
It's all sand and stone as far as the eye can see
Sounds from past echoes in the air
All pain, all suffering
All screams of the living
That the sand took away
A doom for all
Faded shadows emerge out of nowhere
Monks with long, dirt stained robes
Hoods big enough to hide their faces
Floating forward with a bow like stance
Hands tied together
With a sudden stop their heads turn towards me
End- / A dire message
less / Is being whispered
land- / Silently by them
scape / Devastating wonders
of / Beautiful composition
no- / Words that line up perfectly
thing / The darkened distortion
is / Ineluctable merging
what / Brings new light
will / Limitless creation
be / But first it must
left / Ravage all life
Nothing can be done to stop it
It is a force, a spell, a curse out of our control
Gazing into a dismal entrance
Dry grains stroke my feet
Breaking all laws of physics
Enter the depths of the eye
