A lonely torture of silence and stars

Fascination with darkness, a consummation by night

A hidden desire, realised at last

Resolution beckons now : "begin the journey to the light"

Let fear dissolve and be carried away

By the languid wash of slow moving eddies

Desiring for nothing but release

And relinquishment

From pain and limits

Take the final step and plunge deep

Into the cold waters of a dark and uncharted lake

Isolation secret passion

Once aroused brings realisation

Knowledge kindles the fire of hatred

Come dry winds and fan the flames

Earth burn where life dying lay

Come armagedon and make

My last moment the last day

Somewhere else to go, to be

Beyond this world which confines me

To awake from this dream at last

To gaze upon the eternal stars

To know truth and to truly see

What has been and what must be

The question is answered, finally

Isolation secret passion

Once aroused brings realisation

Knowledge kindles the fire of hatred

Come dry winds and fan the flames

Earth burn where life dying lay

Come armagedon and make

My last moment the last day

Nothing left at all now, to give

No reason or impetus to live

Take the plunge, embrace the night

There is nothing left to fight

Burn each fibre of life's being

Decimate all which can be seen

Throw poison where feeling hides

Until no passion burns inside

Cast inside all sublunary wealth

Thrust the knife, destroy the self

Then, immolation complete at last

I gaze upon the etenal stars
