This is all I'll ever be

I'll wander these shores forever

My own sorrowful odyssey

My oath sworn in vain

Has brought me nothing more than pain

So much suffering I've seen

And through so much I've been

This is all I deserve

This is all I'll ever be

-Maglor's Lament

Shadows' sorrowful serenades

Sing sweetly and cruelly

Long into the unabating night

Where even the light of stars fails us

There is no dawn here

Yet this is where we must remain

Dancers in the dark

Cast out of the light

For the light of day reveals all

Revelations we cannot share

There is safety in shadow

But we cannot dwell here forever

For in time the darkness will break us

We can die in the dark

Or embrace the radiant day

In the light of the stars we may flourish

Or in their light we may burn away

Shall we be liberated at last?

Or is dawn's beauty a facade?

Little more than oppression renewed

-Sun and Shadow

At long last

At the end of days

When the final star has dawned

And the final dusk has passed

The tendrils of darkness shall creep in

In such dreadful bliss

Night shall fall

And its jaws shall claim us all

-Final Night

Let us be baptized Bathed in pure, accursed flame Cleansed and defiled

We all give chase For dawn's grace But why do we race To embrace with haste The dying lights Of empyrean space Do we all fear The shadows' embrace?

-Dying Lights

Is this to be my fate?

To languish eternally

Shackled by unseen abominations

Veiled in gloom and shadow

Tormenting me forevermore?

Shall I always be blinded

My eyes gouged out

By a blade in the dark

With an edge so keen

Eviscerating my hopes and my dreams?

—Endless Shadow

I once believed

That in darkest depths

And miserable marshes

A glimmer of hope

Glistening on bog waters

Would always prevail

And purge all shadow

But now I wonder

If that hope

Was naught but an illusion

By fates so cruel

What senseless strife

Shall your avarice brew?

Such wanton sacrifice

Shall serve none but you

Senseless Strife

Gardens in infernal bloom Rending cataclysmic thew Bestowed upon me and you What does it matter? As the acid rain pitter-patters A disastrous platter Of pure pandemonium Shall merely purge Pestering parasites And unwary beasts alike 'Beyond chaos'

Ruinous

Dance, my dears Waltz with frabjous step And glide along transient Yet potent gusts Of unfettered spirit For none yet  Or evermore Shall stem your tide

Unfettered Waltz

Jörmungandr strikes still Devouring the mind's annals And sowing tattered scraps Of tumultuous dismay As he sweeps onward through Til the last morrow comes And naught left lies But a decrepit demise

Here I stand A faltering bulwark Proving a stalwart levee Against thundering torrents For millennia still// Yet unabated assailants Of man and earth alike Cripple my weary stone Such is the fate Of even the most resilient souls

Great Wall

Merely because you wield A crown of sanguine diamonds Does not justify The trampling of huddled masses Yearning to break free From your depraved avarice And tyranny

Mandate of Hell

[annalsofartemis]

Must we all repent? Must we undergo arduous penance And bend our knees to a barbaric black guard Till the will of man falters Sealing ambition's antechamber? Must we all repent?// Victimless offenses treated equally Under great despotic hammer Till the spine of man shatters Suppressing independence's instinct?// Must we all repent? Or perhaps, pray tell Shall we smite down this bestower of judgement And cast aside these supposed trespasses Permitting at last For the shield of autonomy To hold unwavering?

Penitent War

The great serpent draws nigh As treacherous whispers  Pervade nefarious minds Candor becomes doomed to die
