Awakening
What have I become?
Spectral arms reach out to me
Bearing me away
Tortured, haunting dreams
The calling of a dead mind
I wake in cold sweat
Scratching at my door
I hear deep breathing outside
Slowly, the lock turns
Walking through the woods
I hear Them call far away
And begin to run
I no longer live
Long ago I shut my eyes
to our dying world
As I write these words
My best friend lies cold and dead
Stay out of the house!
High and lonely house
It's owner beholds the sea
And shivers strangely
Terrifying dreams
Visions of some evil shape
I do not wake up
Constellations swirl
Soon we'll be but stories
To children not our own
Seductress of all
The darkness now beckons me
Calling me back home
Climb through the window
Follow me to sleeping flesh
Hold your razor tight
I gaze at the tome
Learning all there is to know
My mind fades away
Death embraces me
Tenderly it strokes my hair
Eating me alive
Man no longer rules
Forced to fight for scraps of food
Earth's new owners laugh
Now I must depart
May you live long and calmly
Darkness comes for me
Return to the Legends of the Arch-Lich
Return to the Shrine of the Arch-Lich
