Zero Based Perception

The Outsider

Zero Based Perception


Wake! 
Wake up the dead! 
No recollection of life or death. 
My time spent in darkness, 
Natural light is what I crave! 

I rise to the surface in the light of the moon, 
Run away screaming, run away blinded by fear! 

No! This cannot be! 
No! This can't be me! 
I am not of this place, 
Scream, those who see my face! 

Wake! 
To no one calling! 
Unaware of creatures crawling. 
Pushing aside corpses, 
Pushing aside my own kin! 

I rise to the surface and search for something more, 
Run away screaming, run away blinded by fear! 

No! This cannot be! 
No! This can't be me! 
I am not of this place, 
Scream, those who see my face! 

Flooded by the moonlight! 
I pass the gravestones, I pass the church, 
Oblivious embodiment of death. 
Oblivious, I am the moonlight.
