Sense unbound.

Seer, see the distance nearing
I lay my eyes upon the clouds
I see the look of watchers searing
upon my weary sweating brow.

Feeler, feel vibrations tearing
my skin is peeled off pound for pound
I feel the touch of evil bearing
upon this aging body down.

Hearer, hear the howls of fearing
my ears are filled with hollow sound
I hear the cogs of mayhem gearing
rolling over hallowed ground.

The darkness in my heart now wearing
like chains around my ankles bound
the screams of agony I’m hearing
coming from my bleeding mouth.

And so into the distance peering
I hear the bells toll for the hounds
the gates of hell have opened leering
upon my weary soul unbound.

My shadows.

By the light of a thousand stars

I sit her with my shadows

that, by the light of a single sun

would die in burning pain.

By the voice of a thousand stars

I talk her with my shadows

we whisper of things so hidden

that even sunlight would refrain.

By the stare of a thousand stars

I smile here at my shadows

in a world of insane madness

they’re the ones that keep me sane.

By the sight of a thousand stars

I look here at my shadows

in a world that’s only taking

they’re the ones from who I gain.

By the noise of a thousand stars

I shout here at my shadows

with them I feel so wanted

all else just gives disdain.

By the glare of a thousand stars

I curse here all my shadows

they are with me forever

they haunt, they are my bane.
