Beneath the fading eclipse

The lonely rose keeps on crying in my hands,
The hands that transformed all life into oblivion...
The lonely tear slides down my cheek,
The tear of a being that is rotten though still living on...

Feared once was I to lose my path
Below the source of post-earthly darkness
Feared once was I find the light
Deep beneath the blackest caverns of disgust

To reach my goal and find the way...
To attain the universal supremacy -
The one concealed inside my mind...
To start my journey at it's end

I cast aside my senses, those I will never feel...
Sensations that were mine
Leave me be and stray away
The love I've never felt, the hate I usually beheld...

Don't look upon me as I'm the leper man,
Turn away and don't cast a glance at me
... my precious demon of delight, imprisoned in my hellish den...
Don't pare my wings, for how then will I float above the nightly shores?

I rise above and dive below,
I crawl beneath and creep within.
I am the servant to the masters and emperor of bleeding sheep,
I am the one who is, and who is not.

Enshrouded with gloom becomes the luminary,
I unite with the one it was conquered by -
The eclipse glowing in the utter grimness of the dusk
Although it fades away so fast I could only tearlessly sigh...
