Thoughts echo strangely, in its presence

Insidious tingle in the back of the skull

Like a whisper you can’t quite hear

A willing tool, eager to serve

My masters will be thy bidding

Nefarious deity, transcendent of flesh

It beckons, I sit at its feet

Its words pour into my soul

Haunting presence of memory manifest before me

Dream and reality intertwine

Rooms of unsettling angles seem to pull me

Gaze unto thee with superstitious awe

Imperceptible corruption of the soul

Reduced to a hollow vessel

To assume control of one’s mind and

Relieve thyself of dimensional bounds

By ultrasonic noise

By subliminal methods

Puppet of the all-consuming devils

The ascended take hold of the mind, body and will

You resist, but you will succumb

Whispers echo in the cold, dark forest

Consciousness shattered into fragments

Reminded of the dead left in my wake

Spirit broken, engulfed by eternity

The ascended take hold of the mind, body and will

Become the abysmal blade of toil

Dark forest, amidst the ghostly shadows

Of the unjust damned

Failures of the great protector

Dark forest, amidst the ghostly shadows

Eviscerated by flames,

Reborn!

Morals stretched, will is spent, but a martyr to those yet to die

A heavy burden, the weight of the planet earth

Still subtle whispers at the back of the mind are ever persistent

Your mind will be ours, accept this

“Embrace the sorrow and let go”

“Let your pain give voice to my words”

Let the hate flow as thick as blood!

Take my hand and wash away your fears!

“You seem to be compelled to do unusual things,

 And you can’t understand why, you just obey.”

“You shall remain here, to serve our needs”

Your self-righteous hero is nothing but a failure!

Now breathe in my child, and be reborn!

Nature of the whisper revealed

Resonating deep in my soul

By the burning flames of divine

I stand at the precipice of life

The Rebirth is complete.
