Aeons Of Old

The Outsider

Aeons Of Old


I must have lived for years 
In vast and dismal chambers 
Never saw the light of day 
How far must I walk astray 
To see 
There is no end 
No other side of the forest 
This leads me back 
I can but vaguely remember 
My own resemblance 
Safe the shell of decay 
Horrid in every way 
Forever trapped in twilight 
His dreams I once espied 
From the most ghastly of shores 
Ill-forgotten memories soar 
Alone on this underground isle 
Was there ever a curse so vile 
Sealed off from life itself 
In the dark I shall dwell 
The ominous tower I must climb 
I cannot look down the roof is nigh 
So close yet so far the surface 
I emerge from the subconscious 
I am a stranger among men 
My dusted innards feel broken 
The mirror reveals my abomination 
My fate lies in desolation
