Know despair?You know damn well I know despair.
Feel it like a lover's caress, I do.
Words can't express the nameless scream.
But I'll damn well choke, getting them out.
It's all the same, only the blame changes.
Self-loathing alternating with saddened scorn.
Knowing evolution's passed you by,
Is a damn disenheartening feeling.
I grow tired, oh so very tired.
Is there anything beyond this stark gray Veil?
Hath I not earned slumber,
Even after all these stranger Aeons?
Once, oh yes, once..
Once I danced with Jak O' the Shadows.
Once I summoned Great Old Ones..
Now..I'm just old, and broken.
Learn from my mis-steps, True Believers.
Be not like me.
You'll sleep far better.
Aye, indeed.
