The vaultventurer

One night I ventured the vaults
One night I entered godforsaken halls
One night I descended down stairways to caves unknown
Fo I had abandoned my strength to seek for lights to own.

Howling winds afar, they dwelled
And lured as to embrace and consume a life
Which cursed the skies, the light of day
For mankind, mind and treasure's decay.

In want of murder, in want of faith
I stumbled, spiralled down steps and gazed
And felt the cold of night behind and soon no more
Where the laws to abide...

'Twas the void I followed, tunnels, grime the screams of mental beasts.
Echoes so hollow, conducted entities of voices in a gony

I witnessed stars that never fade, up in fluorescent skies
Ablaze as to preach of time's demise.

I witnessed creatures, wretched and dugged crations
Adapted to the tiles in squares, in sleazy shades they crawled
Too close to rails they linger, too pale this emptiness
To resist the leap's temptation at the first sound of the horn

Shall this be the last of journeys taken?
Or shall I, crouched in hallways, be destined to awake
To ascend, and venture further
I ascend and venture far

To venture the vaults forever
