The Abyss

Through the light-years I searched for you

Long eons walking through domains

Lost to thought of mortal man

Where distance is inconsequential

But time strips bare the bones of remembrance

Leaving friends and lovers blind

In the demesne of eternity

Torn asunder from both past and future

The broken spring of clockwork time lies coiled at my feet

And I drift amid the stars

Wrapped tight in a sheath of irresistible limbo

Hearing and seeing nothing through the filter of madness

Comprehending everything and nothing

As the universe rotates around the pain of a tortured child

Welcome, traveler, welcome to the shores of The Abyss

Welcome, seeker, welcome to the heart of the neutron star

To the super-fluid core of the magnetar

To the Event Horizon at the gates of infinity

Eternal home of my lover, Choronzon

Dread demon of dispersion

Deadly guardian of the roads to heaven and hell

Welcome!
