skeletal hand reaches for the cloudy orb
dark mists swirl within the enchanted glass
a nefarious cackle from under the cloak
in the desolate hallways echoing far
across dimensions in suburbia asleep
a young boy troubled twisting in the sheets
plagued by flashes of a strange world untold
an eldritch secret occupying the thoughts
unearthly place with a sinister air
a calling an urge to explore and learn
throughout the days and nights with sleep lost
undefined and fleeting sights entice more
the promise of something grand hidden therein
the nightmares return the grasp stays uncertain
rigid surroundings that forbid definition
outlandish structures no words can describe
not a single soul encountered while helplessly lost
yet some presence screams intruder when treading the ground
peculiarity and dread such coveted delights
the curious mind never to let go
drawn by the mystical hum that implies
a knowledge exceeding the understood
in search of astonishing and wondrous fear
a fancy develops for the macabre and grim
skeletal hand now in a firm clench
the mists outline a face innocent
a demonic laughter shaking the cloak
trembles the walls the mark is confirmed

Maleficium

entranced by the uncertain lights that permeate the night we enter the damp chamber with solemn hearts
as the pious verses fall silent a thick darkness extends suffocating to some but we breathe empowered
sisters have you prepared all that is required
the stench of the ingredients feeds our ceremonial impatience
light the black candle carve the forbidden signs
our tongues come alive with long forgotten rhymes
draw from the void channel our infernal lord
unspeakable grotesqueries we now pray take hold
with sacrifice our way is paved our secrets take their toll our flesh cracked and bones weak our might has another source
sisters are you eager to form ourselves anew
to peek into oblivion to grow our hideous court
light the black candle carve the forbidden signs
our tongues come alive with long forgotten rhymes
draw from the void channel our infernal lord
pass out from the fumes for our spirits to launch downward
traversal in frost and flame they await us below
plummeting into a vortex of shrieks by banished souls
fealty was sworn it’s all but a blur
the presence of the lesser princes maddening
its true details concealed by cacophony
the bargain only to be understood on collection
the bargain only to be understood on collection
waking from a fever dream our flight back is a tour de force
wickedest charms linking our vessels left above to our newly bound souls
enthralled to carry out his will
we reinfest these bodies now with a grace hellish
enthralled to carry out his will
we reinfest these bodies now with a grace hellish

open the grand tome let loose the world within
what abomination will be the peril of the week
our warriors sculpted from the finest graphite
eagerly await the first roll of the dice
the land is in danger as one would expect
a redeeming artifact in closeness is kept
enslaved by the demonlord the villagers tell
of its power to break the hideous spell
with sorcery and steel to take on foul witchery
our band of misfits treads on relentlessly
enchantments ready for what beasts may attack
inventories managed to the greatest effect
'tis only mere text but our master speaks
through his words the dream is formed from the stills
keeper of secrets decider of fates
conjuring menace every step of the way
through the cursed woods and dark catacombs
the culmination of our joint efforts
phases one and two of the final foe are bested
but the third is brokenly overpowered
keeper of secrets decider of fates
conjuring menace every step of the way
'tis only mere text but our master speaks
through his words the dream is formed from the stills
dawn is closing in our quest nears its end
thunderous rumble accompanies the steps
math and chance entangle the fateful resin spins
the faces showing twenties, securing our win

lost forever dissolved in devotion yearning to know the thoughts taking form
words being imperfect inventions i tend to rely on an obscure approach
into the night a hidden nexus is mine to explore
kaleidoscopic swirling takes me away from the shore
shards of uncharted wonder i long to collect and understand
failings of the physical realm mean no obstacle in these lands
the endless tides overflowing eternal journals of visions
guided by fleeting impressions solving this maze is my obsession
i seek this purest source even its reflection radiant
i am drawn by an arcane force amazed by its colors vibrant
in the waking world my thoughts to the secret they keep circling back
the knowledge for aeons sought a hypnotic rhyme to gain access
the endless tides overflowing eternal journals of visions
guided by fleeting impressions solving this maze is my obsession

beyond the veil of a humid black night a rip from between two worlds now hides
the gateway is open the emerging horror is witnessed by the pines
wretched sinful blackened corrupt it finds its way into town
crawling twitching perverted possessing agents of the otherworldly dark
come ye helpless vessels take the tar nectar, painless as if dying in your sleep
flesh will be put to good use while your weary souls may rest in the backwards realm beyond the veil
here we are all entranced, caught up in a grotesque dance, the mysteries of this place never to be revealed
ancient malevolent spirit as old as time itself
drawn by the fumblings of Man, nurtured with hate and misery
wretched sinful blackened corrupt it feasts on mortal depravity
crawling twitching perverted possessing defiling ending light and purity
"this is the water and this is the well, drink full and descend
the horse is the white of the eyes and dark within"
come ye helpless vessels take the tar nectar, painless as if dying in your sleep
flesh will be put to good use while your weary souls may rest in the backwards realm beyond the veil

Tenebrous

staring into the pitch black void, questioning the dark
audience in the midnight hour with the faceless formless night
cryptic tales tell of baffling sights, incomprehension misperceived
dreadful accounts of occult rites, grave consequences of fleeting peeks
scholars consumed by lunacy have paved the way for this inquiry
but unbeknownst to the curious souls the things reach far from obscurity
it has been said before countless times: stare just long enough
for the abyss to return that arrogant regard
a spectral web, its delicate threads set off by probes of unwarranted confidence
horrid limbs emerge, arthropod legs, the tenebrous queen revealed
captives of the pitch black void, imprisoned by the dark
frenzied shrieks in the midnight hour of the faceless formless night
venomous fangs extend eagerness and meddling by eternal writhing rewarded
scholars consumed by lunacy have paved the way for this inquiry
but unbeknownst to the curious souls the things reach far from obscurity

in this faint afternoon glow succumbing tothe touch of hypnos there is a forgotten place i seek
may the closing of these eyelids open the gates, may i enter the hidden kingdom once again
i recall some subtle magic always lingering in the air
we threw ourselves at whatever the day would bring and
"then we ran like the wind whilst our laughter echoed under cerulean skies"
even though these days seem endless I can almost feel that world being still here somewhere
when i look into these eyeso of yours Free of worry like mine were once
will your gaze take me back to the long lost wonderland
i recall some subtle magic always lingering in the air
we threw ourselves at whatever the day would bring and
"then we ran like the wind whilst our laughter echoed under cerulean skies"

Lunar Delirium

at long last my trembling feet tread the oily cobblestones, the monstrous structures of the famed city tower before me
a deafening blast drowns out the faint manic shrieks as the heavy iron gates are shut ajar
i dare to be the conqueror of the secrets held within all i ever hoped for and more the mind may not comprehend
the moon descends my contract is made distant realms pass by and i am lost in the thrill of the hunt
remains of sanity disperse in the purge i die a thousand deaths to be awoken all the same
restless i’m thrown back into a circle a strange inheritance now a part of me
with a newfound confidence i plunge into the pitch black alleyways my fingers trace the hilt my grip is firm
in a burst my walking cane lets loose a hundred otherworldly thorns
jagged serrated steel rips into the disfigured beastly flesh they howl obscenely as i am drenched in their sickly blood
fueled by the crimson power i venture further into the deep i unearth the forbidden knowledge
the tragedy of the ancient masters and their fruitless efforts their quest for ascendence the bane of this land
the moon hangs low all my eyes are pried open the nightmare is revealed and i am lost in the pursuit of eternity
the moon hangs low all my eyes are open the nightmare is revealed and i am lost in the pursuit of eternity
remains of humanity blur into oblivion i'm dead a thousand times yet i live infinitely

having scaled the highest peak
at the summit i can see
it all revealed before me
in the sharp winds enduring
this icy wasteland is where we meet
i will see to your defeat
at last i have it all laid out in front of me
restless i've been charting the cosmic tapestry
shining fragments shards of the all encompassing somnisphere
gently carved the lines of a map propose a path
quietly i have been gazing into the black of the night
it all fell to me the riddle of the stars
the mystic trail leads
woven from imprints of visitors past
celestial calculations
this frantic mind reads
elusive order in this pool of riches vast
to tell theendless tests of the journey so far
wickedest magicks sealing pathways to the hearth
fiendish creatures swarming in the bulwark dominions
screeching harshly as they are met with my blade
emerging
a few steps still to the obsidian retreat
faltering to the ancient master’s seat
hordes of the undead
a barrier rotten and foul
bound by the command
of the warlock above
hideous tower
in a furious storm
eternally raging
enshrouding all
lorekeeper guardian
corrupted through millennia
twisted by the isolation
in this unforgiving land
his purpose now forgotten
but his power remains
need to be overthrown
to cleanse this timeless place
the mystic trail leads
woven from imprints of visitors past
celestial calculations
this frantic mind reads
elusive order in this pool of riches vast
having scaled the highest peak
at the summit i can see
it all revealed before me
in the sharp winds enduring
this icy wasteland is where we meet
i will see to your defeat
so we begin here where the timelines end
our clash conjuring a torrent of sorcery
learning your secrets at all costs i intend
the arcane insight shrouded in mystery
learning your secrets
the arcane insight
shrouded in mystery
