Underneath a Sullen Moon

The ether realm declares the world but a stage
 A coldly calculated transformation to the grave
 Onward we follow, herded as slaves
 Collectively lapsing into the land of flame
 Alas, the truth has been presented before my eyes
 I've been unbound from the shackles of faith
 No longer lead to believe there is hope beyond this world
 The rope starts to sway
 The voices died one by one as they called my name
 Wept until the body could no longer feel the pain
 And naught a thing to blame
 Trapped in a shell of excessive disdain
 Under the moonlight I yield
 For I am not enslaved, but one of many of those who kneel
 The reasons, the answers will follow me to the grave
 Under the moonlight I yield
 Venture beyond and prepare the final phase
 Now I look beyond the black eclipse
 The macrocosm of the divine
 The sullen moon pulls at my soul, a beckoning for relinquishment
 Like the tides under lunar influence
 The urge is relentless I venture beyond
 The voices died one by one as they called my name
 Wept until the body could no longer feel the pain
 And naught a thing to blame
 Trapped in a shell of excessive disdain
 Under the moonlight I yield
 For I am not enslaved, but one of many of those who kneel
 The veil beyond cries my name
 I have left behind all that I love, and all who commit
 My soul in the hands of destiny
 Briefly embracing the chill of Dimethyltryptamine
 A struggle for many is the end of the few
 A cancer that no mortal man can elude
 I hang in my sorrow with no dispute
 Just know I'm sorry, I swear to you
