Cimmerian Shamballa

Splintering blistered fingers
Chalk smears cake my body white
Sweat perspiring down my face
Retracing lines to tighten this seal
Clandestinely twining
With devilry coursing through the night
My wicked enchantments hurl my body
As it's careening through dust (through dust and light)

I feel I've made it
As my heart climbs through my ribs
It tells me so
The specter shows me so
The darkness surrounding
Is growing as the specter sheds
To begin anew
Within it's body

(They are glowing on...)
(...through her)

Their faces shine fiercely
With such deep sinew

This crooked mystery
Envelops all space around me
As the many faces speak as one
"Why have you come here? (What has brought you through?)
Why have you come here? (What has brought you through to my domain?)"
My body falters
I feel myself begin to crumble
As rickety noises force
Themselves from my throat
I begin to form some sense
Into an explanation
"I need to see this, to feel this, to breathe!"
"To see
To feel
To breathe
To breathe in your miasma."

"Take refuge in the carcass
My darkening soul
Albeit by the force of beauty incarnate
Do not release yourself into this world
Here your essence is soluble."

I am Cimmerian Shamballa
