Shadows that move in the dark
Eclipses the channels, neural connections
Blackened emphatic possession
Draining the marrow
Drowning in your eyes
The floodgates have failed us
A botched exorcism of darkness confined
The light will not make it through the chasm of the mind
Our voices are swallowed by the echoes
Aching to be heard again
Again you must face this chemical place
Existing to those all but dead
Memories of gleaming rays fading
Petrified in the wounds you hide
My fate existed before me
Dying to live, blinded inside
"A plague? A higher form, a face in the window. And now with what we've seen and what we know to be right back to the beginning with nothing. This is different. No it isn't."
Ancient myth will tell you, the journey cannot be made
The dead will serve to guide you, the artifact must be saved
Within you lies the answer, dreams and memories remain
Your wound existed before you, this life: your only fate
