From a trance-like state, I awaken Consciousness has been returned to my own being Interrupted from that hellish nightmare Waiting for my strength to return to me I notice that I have been relocated My surroundings differ from those before I was entranced But what force hath lifted me from where I once lie? Appearing before my eyes A cryptic memory Manifesting within my mind As I begin to see The truth of this barren realm, now mine This hellscape revealed unto me Arcane shapes floating in place Runic forms manifesting all around me Turning my attention To the surroundings They begin to fluctuate Altering where I lie now Moving me To a new place unknown Arcane shapes floating in place Runic forms manifesting all around me Turning my attention To the surroundings They begin to fluctuate Altering where I lie now Moving me To a new place unknown "What is this place free of the bounds of time and space and God?!" "What is this place of death?" Visions of disfigurement Race through my mind Winding memories of another life I've seen this place before But what is my connection to this obscure dimension Arcane shapes floating in place Runic forms manifesting all around me Turning my attention To the surroundings They begin to fluctuate Altering where I lie now Moving me To a new place unknown Arcane shapes floating in place Runic forms manifesting all around me Turning my attention To the surroundings They begin to fluctuate Altering where I lie now Moving me To a new place unknown Flooding These visions begin to breach through this hindering mental blockage Recalling the brutal demise Of this forsaken life chosen to die Looking back through the eyes of this poor, Tarnished spirit's untimely death-rite Into the mind of sadness and sorrow Bleeding from the mouth and with fading eyesight Stripped of the strength to move a muscle As the ritual continues forward towards its climactic finish The instant discharge of this being's soul Mortality arrives as the soul is stripped away
