Underneath a Sullen Moon

The ether realm declares the world but a stage
A coldly calculated transformation to the grave
Onward we follow, herded as slaves
Collectively lapsing into the land of flame
Alas, the truth has been presented before my eyes
I've been unbound from the shackles of faith
No longer lead to believe there is hope beyond this world
The rope starts to sway
The voices died one by one as they called my name
Wept until the body could no longer feel the pain
And naught a thing to blame
Trapped in a shell of excessive disdain
Under the moonlight I yield
For I am not enslaved, but one of many of those who kneel
The reasons, the answers will follow me to the grave
Under the moonlight I yield
Venture beyond and prepare the final phase
Now I look beyond the black eclipse
The macrocosm of the divine
The sullen moon pulls at my soul, a beckoning for relinquishment
Like the tides under lunar influence
The urge is relentless I venture beyond
The voices died one by one as they called my name
Wept until the body could no longer feel the pain
And naught a thing to blame
Trapped in a shell of excessive disdain
Under the moonlight I yield
For I am not enslaved, but one of many of those who kneel
The veil beyond cries my name
I have left behind all that I love, and all who commit
My soul in the hands of destiny
Briefly embracing the chill of Dimethyltryptamine
A struggle for many is the end of the few
A cancer that no mortal man can elude
I hang in my sorrow with no dispute
Just know I'm sorry, I swear to you
