Anagnorisis

Misery lurks in the spirit – tainted with madness A foe finds its way in the dark – hubris sets in In the threads of fate entangled With terror filled Horrifying epiphany Recognition of Nemesis The Gorgon's eyes, petrean gaze Revealing the truth buried beneath The father slain, incestuous race Awakening from a narcotic sleep The sleep of ignorance The death of innocence The loss of reverence The face of tragedy Confront me And see yourself The sleep of ignorance The death of innocence The loss of reverence The face of tragedy Anagnorisis
