Avernus

The ethereal being, revealed from the deep
Leading me on the wings of spirit
Towards the bloodred avernus
In labyrinth of life I roam
Among the visions of dethroned reality
I walk on the land of Illusions

Wild streams of ideas gallop away from their beds
Living behind the dreary death
No-faces turned inside out search for the empire of wisdom
Their bonesteeds roll in the moisture of the eternal life

Black shadows follow in my track
And whisper unspeakable secrets in my ears on honey-sweet voices
But in the distance shines on the sly
The water of forgetting

Exile is the branded wanderer's fate
The valley of sighs gives hope of nothing
But the will kills faded desire and releases
The army of the lunatic heralds

Amorphous certainty is my companion
The something is where the light is mirrored
In the damned lake's bottom full of embedded souls
Do I walk on the land of illusions

Swelling waves blow the stink of their brimstone kiss
My heavy heart dives as a stone
Into the madding vortex of the revived dreams

Before me, an embers face's fading contour I see
It's still whispering something
But I don't understand, I can't understand
And why is the light ever-blinding eye to eye
