Raqia - Ephel Duath

I see you rising

Where spheres collide

Up to the highest of all

And here I stare

This shining nightmare again

You

The humming voice

I keep hearing the whisper

Parasitic mind getting closer and closer

A second and third layer of skin

Begging for some life and warmth

You are the firmament

I wander in

There

When my sight loses hope

And I fail myself again

I’m just nerves

Tired bones

A scared heart

You are that shadow filling my eyes

My guard is down again

There’s still no will

Desire or strength

To fight that back

You may be as lonely as I feel

But the emptiness around you is cosmic

Immense

While mine tastes just like flesh

I slip further

Faster

And I keep looking there

At that grinning void

That ate you

All what I’m gaining

Is a self feeding rage

Stealing my traits

Long liquefied echoes

Shape my memories

And I wonder

If nine stars blinking

Are those nine fingers of yours

Ready to grab me

And this blind run

That is my life
