Serpents In The Bramble

The fire! It glows as white
And blackened shadows danced beyond
Encircled in barbs and thorns
Placed there on earth alone in early dawn

The Moon looked down as we subsumed
The serpents and I so deep entwined
My limbs and their body soon ceased
As night bid farewell for the last time

Oh, the sound of mountains falling!
The air thickened with the dust of old
The last shrines of creation crumble
Every tale that ever was has now been told

The stars beckon me to transcend
As the last of blackened earth falls away
My eyes fill not with tears for them
But with the sight of eternities embrace

Joined with them - serpents in the bramble
This is the nevermore we'd sought
We've lost naught - no wise men, no prophets
As the void grants my deepest desire

Infernal flames - burn down the gate
Blackened eyes - filled with hate
In our spire - we watch the end
From within - we now transcend
