My soul Lost in frozen wastelands My vision blurs My blood runs cold I fade, cast up into the sky This mind stretched into boundless infinity I am no longer chained to flesh Witnessing unfathomable darkness Paths of stars cross in and out of view I march through the mouth of the nether realm Obscured by clouds, luminous fragments I feel the weight of the cosmos Before me an apparition Petrified I flee I seek refuge But why? Surrounded by lifelessness and ignorance I give myself to the sea of stars Witnessing unfathomable darkness Paths of stars cross in and out of view I march through the mouth of the nether realm To observe the brilliance of the never-ending void Obscured by clouds, luminous fragments Of exhausted time I feel the weight of the cosmos Bearing on my soul Dreams of life, they race through my vision Like phantoms surrounding my grave of ice I return to the void of nonexistence I become one with the specter Our wills become one "Welcome", I am told. "Rest your mind." I give up my soul and the shadows take part in me I cannot even choose to regret
