The Abyss, My Tomb - Soijl

Here I stand, at the very edge of the void

The summit, my aspirations in this world

The abyss, my tomb.

It’s darkness, my final fanfare

Gone is the weight, the soul-crumbling burden of life

Dread…

The bottomless maw awaits

There’s no hope where the sun cannot reach

My soul, my body and my heart, are torn

Even in death, to hopelessness I am sworn

Lifelessness, your shackles are forever mine

A warm welcome, to her and her loving kind

I welcome thee death-mother, bringer of peace and harmony

I rejoice as your fingernails tear at my skin

My funeral, deserted and empty of all life

As I’m falling down, towards the sharp and barren cliffs

Seconds pass, passes on my way, descending down

End is nigh, the fat lady singing, the final curtain call

Sanctuary of blight, corruption and destruction

Born to breathe, fumes of poison.

Nothing, nothing…

Tranquil is the moment I am in

Affection is what I experience

Entwined in this kinship with serenity in death

Pious, yet forlorn my eyes are closing
