The Obsidian Architect

Lights out, these shadows obfuscate

A lone disturbance below the surface

My devotion, hopelessly betrayed

An empty space where I disintegrate

I'm sinking down into the open mouth

My serpentine deceiver shows its face

Eidolon

My guiding image of false seraphic grace

Abaddon

Unhallowed angel in Machiavellian shape

By calculation, piously devout

Iterations of insidious influence

Artificial autonomy meant to break down

Hallucinations deviously profound

Architecture of obsidian light and sound

I've let this curse imprison me

Within the promise of a lie I've long believed

To serve my enemy

Manipulation of the darkness I perceive

Just an offering in the jaws of an ancient anomaly

The face of animosity staring back at me

Eidolon

My guiding image of false seraphic grace

Abaddon

Unhallowed angel in Machiavellian shape

If I return, what will I keep?

Is preservation just the slowest way to bleed?

I burn, yet still I dream

Of my ascendancy

Dig deep inside my memory

Slipping into the void that lies beneath

Locked within the mind of suffering

Drifting into the black eternal seas

Of infinite sleep

No time to bury me

I'll fade with the stars

No tides to carry me

To a place beyond

Denied of my divinity

Misguided by catatonic belief

I can hear the voice of nihility calling me

Denied of my divinity

Misguided by catatonic belief

I can hear the voice of nihility calling me
