Deathwalker

In distress, chased and locked in stalemate Into the cauldron, to embrace eclipse And inhale the harrowing Withering, the sear flesh and blood Elapsed is the momentary host Limp, the broken will, worn down the last stand Extinction! Extinction! And I soar up high into the haven Of the starless night Borne by black wings of dawn I fly away from the bygone As I crossed alone The gold turned into dead stone And I did not look back Nor did I mourn At the gate in a place between dimensions I swathed myself, to embrace eclipse And to sink into the void And I chased through the nightly brake Unseen, shot through icy streams High above the crowns and down into the void And I soar up high into the haven Of the starless night Borne by black wings of dawn I fly away from the bygone As I crossed alone The gold turned into dead stone And I did not look back Nor did I mourn On this bridge so narrow The shoddy rags fell off me Robed in nakedness I entered the gate Deathwalking o'er the searing bridge At the time between the times I witness and herald We do not perish but only slough And I soar up high into the haven Of the starless night Borne by black wings of dawn I fly away from the bygone As I crossed alone The gold turned into dead stone And I did not look back Nor did I mourn
