Call of the Chasm

As I walk, trudging further in this darkness
My eyes blind as I feel my way through
I reach a precipice where a glow shines faintly below
A chasm where the air grows thinner and cold

Feverishly I rush forward
Propelled by desperation
The glow grows brighter
As the chasm reveals itself to me

I feel a presence unlike any that I've felt before
It's drawing closer
I stumble further away from reprieve

The Nothing calls out my name
Beckoning my soul to release
I can't escape this misery
Evermore I search for egress
The darkness is all consuming
But towards the light I race
Am I to ever return to
A life free from this realm?

I search for shelter as the abyss approaches

ME

Now I can see why this blackness has been cast upon

ME

Calamity!
My cursed soul wanders for eternity

Lost and unbound
Towards this civilization I guide myself
FOOL! Am I pursued? Or being led closer to my demise?

This city within the Cavern
Radiating hues!
Everlasting phosphorescent glow!

I am drawn within
Prosperity transmuting into decadence
I am perturbed by disturbing architecture
Passing through the city as a means of escape
An abandoned, desolate place, it's society laid to waste

The dwellers had met their end here!
Oh could it be from this presence that is stalking me?!

"No!" I cry, "This cannot be!"
For what do my eyes now see?
Thousands upon thousands of spirits materialize before me
This phosphorescent glow grows, now radiating brilliantly

I flee, my being overtaken with mind numbing fear
How could this happen?
These spirits had been deceiving me

The Nothing calls out my name
Beckoning my soul to release
I can't escape this misery
Evermore I search for egress
The darkness is all consuming
But from the light I race
Am I to ever return to
A life free from this realm?

The Nothing calls out my name
Beckoning my soul to release
I can't escape this misery
Evermore I search for egress
The darkness is all consuming
But from the light I race
Am I to ever return to
A life free from this realm?
