The Litany

Once I was a mortal man* Now I traverse the realms beyond The material plane is but a crossroads The epicenter of a temporal abyss. Anchored by the webs of stasis Made brittle through the ignorant years At long last, I find passage To elucidate with chaos and fear. Once among the mortals, I elected to ascend To seek the truth and the answers At whatever the cost or end Now, beyond all sanity, I've come to realize That the aegis of morality Is just a seal of lies. Once abjured by the Great Ones, imprisoned and obscured Now driven by an eldritch hunger No longer interred... There is no natural cycle; no afterlife awaits The universe is ruled by mindless gods And you shall see them... when we emerge from the gates
