Chernobog

Descend into black Your weight, thrown forward Arms extended They catch but brush and thorns Your fingers grasp at lacerations Onset of desperation Suspended in animation As sanity departs Something ancient takes hold And then you drown Exhausted Weary, alone You are dying Caught in transcendence And then you wait For the embrace The black God of the barren mountain Descends upon the world of man Your fingers grasp at lacerations Onset of desperation Suspended in animation His majestic serpentine form Slithers across the land Devours all in his path Putrefying the light Spreading his corruption Your salvation Devours all in his path Putrefying the light Spreading his corruption Your salvation Your eyes can't pierce what lies ahead As the sweat on your back stagnates Is this the end? Will it be quick? Blood runs cold Consumed by gloom Eternally doomed Then you scream, Above. Behind. Forward. And below. Scream until you bleed Crimson waters of life Fill your lungs There will be no one to heed your call This is his gift to you His legacy remains Man damned to duality Thus you can never be pure Where there's light Shadow is cast In order to generate You must eradicate Embrace his endowment of hate That is your wretched fate
