Anagnorisis

Misery lurks in the spirit – tainted with madness
A foe finds its way in the dark – hubris sets in
In the threads of fate entangled
With terror filled
Horrifying epiphany
Recognition of Nemesis

The Gorgon's eyes, petrean gaze
Revealing the truth buried beneath
The father slain, incestuous race
Awakening from a narcotic sleep

The sleep of ignorance
The death of innocence
The loss of reverence
The face of tragedy

Confront me
And see yourself

The sleep of ignorance
The death of innocence
The loss of reverence
The face of tragedy
