To Thou Ancient Death

Swimming in a sea of dark recollections
I saw blood running like an ever flowing stream
I was deafened by the nocturnal silence
And found myself as the last one on earth

Dig deep, rummage through your core
The essence from beyond
Unearth, open the old wound
Your fate is cursed

I chose the left hand path
As the slaughter of my soul
I was sent where no life dwells
Into eternity

Now my remains are into the grave
After a winterlong trek
I’m now just a shadow in the deep
Forever laid to rest

I escaped that realm of chaos
And abided all the dreams you dread
The spectral sorrows had haunted my soul
In a nightmare made flesh

Dig deep, rummage through your core
The essence from beyond
Unearth, open the old wound
Your fate is cursed
