This penetrating pain   arousing from its sleep   This pallid flesh hiding   in shades These hollow   orbits watering the   ground Frantic ghouls   lurking in my shadow   Reptiles crawling under   my skin Temptations   Swansong from the tarn   Cold caresses of a   quivering shroud The   phasma cradling me in   its arms Its wormwood   tongue rasping my face   Flee from me spirits of   ferocity and open the   gates of this limbo   Come to me bringer of   joy and disembody my   pain Hinder the inflow   of figments Let them   gather in me no more   Stop the bleeding Heal   my wounds Melt the   frost in my veins   Dissolve the sickened-   red haze round me and   stop the toll of the knell
