A premonition of horrors awakens me from slumber A darkened reality eaten by entities unrecognizable What did I just see? Sweat trickles Through these dense and lively forests I walk Yearning to discover what it was This beautiful golden stream of life I mustn't walk too far in Obtaining cognizance is my only option Turn around, flee In time the grey smoke would surround Screams of agony Thick as fog at dawn but yet so shallow What energy shall I muster? My exertions are futile In shadows you have prevailed Your only door left open is that of defeat You have plagued for far too long I cannot allow you to leave I carry the key to the lock of the netherworld A realm lost to space and time Here is where you will dwell and relinquish your claim To the stranglehold you so fiercely grasp You forever withdraw to the blackness of inanimate existence Yet with peace restored The brightest light casts the darkest shadows
