Legion 04:21
LEGION As the saying goes “seek and you shall find”. I seek to discover the secrets of time. This is no mere inquiry, no mere jest. I wish to hold the world at my behest. *Secrets. Silence. Aquire the knowledge, evolve the mind. Become. Legion. Undying sentinel, master of time. To adapt and move beyond, a mortal norm… Abuses the vessel, it weakens the form. I must steel myself, for the trials before me. Evolution at rapid speed, nature abhors me. The boundaries of humanity erased. “Seek and you shall find…” I feel my molecules begin to multiply. Bones growing more dense, like iron inside. Breathing becomes obsolete. The apex of human form, nearly complete. “Seek and you shall find…” Now begins my life beyond this mortal coil. An ageless, indestructible traveller of science and soil. No longer controlled by the limits of the mind. I walk between the worlds and leave humankind behind. And become Legion.

Awakening 03:50
AWAKENING In the darkest parts of my mind. I know there’s always someone else there. Forcing my hands to do things, this part of me does not care. I woke him up to be the man I was afraid to be. Now I think it may be too late… I am so sorry… ** Bring forth the chaos within. A violent means to destroy the opposition. My mind on fire, my subconscious, my will to win. My awakening. If I let it slip, he takes over me, nothing can stop it. I wish he would let me be. I see different eyes, every time I look in the mirror. I know that it’s not me. After I blackout, I have no idea, what he’s done, or where he’s been. But the blood on my hands gives me an idea, he’s not making friends… Damn it feels good to be alive. Blunt force trauma always give me such a high. When I’m in the spotlight, that weakling runs and hides. He doesn’t have the stomach for this shit. I hear him try to stop me, when I do my thing. The screaming outside drowns out those within. I simply cannot stop, I’m finally free… I’ve found a way, to remain, now I’m in charge. This is how it’s got to be. No more fucking around, let’s go on a killing spree. ** Bring forth the chaos within. A violent means to destroy the opposition. My mind on fire, my subconscious, my will to win. My awakening.

Daggers 05:24
DAGGERS She floats, toes grazing the blades of grass. Her pale skin catches the moonlight and I’m entranced. I’ve never seen something, so beautiful. And then her siren’s call pierces my skull. *Daggers Piercing every corner of my soul. As she devours me whole. Daggers Tearing through my heart and my mind. Lost in the abyss of time. With eyes as black as void, her gaze dissects. Lulling me in for the kill, to be ravaged next. My body goes limp with fear, I cannot fight. I feel as if I’m drowning, sinking away from the light. **This is my destiny. To be a feast for death. I cannot help but willingly give my last breath. This is dark poetry. A somber tale to tell. Now I enter through the maw, my descent into hell. The deeper that she drags me down, the more I see. An endless ocean of pain and fear, awaiting me. A million voices call to me. Welcome to eternity. Now I reach my final resting place, my spirit’s tomb. Swaddled within Death’s very womb.

Fear 04:47
FEAR A sick feeling, washes over me. My heart pounds in my ears, it’s getting hard to breathe. A wave of weakness, pulls me down. And buries me in the ground. *This voice that seeks to bind you. It’s what you fear. This plight that tries to blind you. It’s what you fear. All the things that scream inside you. It’s what you fear. Now you must fight the self within. And conquer fear. Catatonic, paralyzed in the dark. A firm hand of terror, clutches your heart. It is the foe in the mirror, unlike any kind. This is a plague of the mind. **Lies, and where they hide. Breed the terror inside. We must find the path, to another plane. Where fear can no longer cause pain. Claustrophobic darkness crushing our strength. Shut your eyes, clench your fists, focus your breath. Now we elevate ourselves to a place beyond death. Without fear we have no limits, nothing to stand in our way. Through sheer will, we must live, till our last breath. Now we elevate ourselves to that fateful place far beyond death. Further, forward, pushing, limitless, fearless… **Lies, and where they hide. Breed the terror inside. We must find the path, to a place beyond fear.

Oracle 06:42
ORACLE When we set foot, upon this path, to find new lands. We never dreamed, of what we might find, or what magic it had. My eyes have seen, so many days, and so many moonlit nights. The road has been long, and brutal indeed. But we have carried on. *Gone, are the days, of our simple lives. (We yearn for something more) Home, left behind. Mundane and droll. (We yearn…) Guided by stars, and our own senses, a divine intuition. I question not, what direction we are pulled. Mountains of death, caves of doom, the way ever longer. A perilous road, one paved with blood. But we must press forth. **A voice is calling me. (calling me to their home) A ghostly hand in mine. (guiding me) It promises all I dream. (Can it be trusted?) I must find this Oracle. (keeper of secrets) Now we find, a new purpose. Our destiny. This being has power, one it must share, or we will take it away. I care not, what it wants, or why it has chosen me. I felt its strength, its wisdom, and I will set it free. Keeper of secrets. What prophecies do you wish to share? We must become one. We seek the Oracle. Our destiny. We seek the Oracle. What future will be? We seek the Oracle. The truth beyond what we see. We seek the Oracle. Your power in me. We must become one. Fulfill the prophecy.
