The Hunger

Beyond the light of this world, dwelling in the fields of Nod

Lies a place behind the veil, for the hungry to see

Come forth, he who wanders

Reveal all that is locked

Tonight is the night that marks the first hunt

The night is a womb, and I am her child

Obsessed with the death that flows from the wild

Granted the key, but search I must

For the final gate

And just beyond sight, shines a light from the crack

But the shadow it casts swallows all who stare back

And deep in the chasm dwells the ancient flame that burns within us all

But few shall carry the torch that speaks its tale

Tempter from the other side who haunts my dreams, now move through me, so the forbidden fruit may fall

And I shall heed your call
