Adrift midway these boundless corridors
Yielded by the scorn of lights and shadows
Bringing about the marvels beyond its unplumbed pillars
Marvels of which no man knows
All that was promised
Ingrained in blood and spat back in the eyes of mankind.
Bygone horrors resurfacing at every juncture of silence
Extinguishing the fever of a thousand stellar cores.
Our golden future reeks of rot and brimstone
How mephitic we must be to deserve a world like this.
Adrift midway the infinite cosmic depth
Paralyzed by ruminations that made us sallow
Bringing about the arduous tedium
From within the hollow crown
All that was promised
Became the perfect transfiguration of failure.
