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.
