In the distance I hear voices drifting through the blackness

Faintly creeping through the silence driving me to madness

I close my eyes and cease to breath as visions echo through me

Enchanting waves of false delusions lure me with their beauty

But the end is nigh

For I know them

The sirens of a dismal sea

I must revoke them

This will never end

I can’t fathom

This blackness ephemerate

A mental spasm

Interludes into my conscious

Wickedness unfolding

To drive these phantasms away

Will be my last undoing

Hallucinations of a presence

Lurid and appalling

Lucid apparitions

From an outer world dissolving

Sleeping or awake

Still I’m dreaming

A slave to a mental state

Never ceasing

Relentless they persecute

Darkly beckoned

Tireless and resolute

A haunting message

Echoes from a distant plane

Only faint whispers remain

Intrusive illusions

Suspend me in silence

No rest from confusion

No respite, no guidance

The echoes distort me

Oppressive, enchanting

A dreadful miasma

Of murmurs incanting

Remnants from planes distant

Trap me in a dreamstate

Reclusive, resistant

Resigned to a bleak fate

Drawn to the foreboding

A void blank and crushing

A mind once all-knowing

Made barren, now nothing
