Spinning Webs, Catching Dreams

Oh bear witness
As my time draws to an end
My mentor's voice beckons me,
"follow me and be saved"

Fear and trembling have seized hold
Of what's left of me
Through morphine haze I see him
Spinning webs, catching dreams

In this darkest of times
Arise and be reborn
Take my hand
I will lead you from this plane
And to eternity

I've made no peace for beyond
Reason was ever my pride
My restless thoughts are dancing
On blades of doubt

Cold reason alone was always my way
But now death is near
Trembling and in tears
Weak and ashamed

To right and left unknown road
Esoteric dread
Slithering voice anoint unto me
Poison and life one the same

What other hope have I?
My heart is hard and cold
Here I am, a will for your machine
The first atop this hill
