Ascendance - Odem

I watch the dusk descend upon me

Endless perpetual dusk that will never become day

I witness the beheaded angels fall from the parapets of God’s sacred kingdom

I witness the skies collapsing inwards and bursting into the void

The sun, that once was bright, is no more bleeding through the opaque black

shell

I feel reality trembling, touched by the hand of nihil

Where there was time, will be naught

Temples of eternity crumble in my sight

I reject. I deny! I DEFY!

I descend into the primordial waters to drink of the Cup of Death and eat of

the bitter Fruit of Wisdom

I transcend through the the oblivion of my darkest dreams, on the path of no

return

I create my limits and I destroy them

I ascend as I descend!

A crucifix of flesh and bones, so flawed yet perfect, thou art filled with

paradoxes which never resolve

A desecrated shell, so crafted and so empty

Adored and despised, by Seraphim aflame

For fire in thine heart shalt burn forevermore

Shalt scorch forevermore the womb of the creation

An escalating void, devouring the sun, extinguishing the stars, hath sown its

seed within thee

Where there was life shall be death, where there was light shall be darkness,

where there was hope shall be misery

And within this Darkness — your flame shalt burn forevermore. AMEN
