The Orphion Descent

Descend
 From the bones of the netherworld enlivened
 Senses are heightened from within
 Subatomic pathways into the underworld
 Flame-lit matrix
 All-consuming gateway to chasms beyond
 Enter into the abyss primordial
 Descending into obsidian realms
 Subconscious subterfuge parted like ashen waves
 Coiling inwards, the flame lit the cavern
 Guiding the way
 A journey to bring he who treads upon its path
 Face to face with all that is hiding
 Into the shadows crawl
 My voyage is sown
 Touching down in the lowest realm of lifeless forms
 The roots below, the surviving will of astral form
 Lit from within
 They became inverted from the deeds of one
 Defaced
 Now a foul king fed by the bones of his fate
 Lost in the murky heart long since extinguished
 The Blade of the Sun sheathed in an amethyst throne
 Knowledge of the self sits silent for those with ears to hear
 The light of consciousness begins to appear
 Peering through prayers of fear
 Without a pure heart
 Inverting all into deception
 Birthing daemons that slither and crawl through their phantom minds
 Reflections of the trauma unhealed
 Buried are jewels that lay hidden inside you
 Lighting the path of the warrior and guiding the way
 Ten thousand hungry ghosts longing to drink from its illumination
 They became inverted by the deeds of one
 Defaced
 Now a foul king fed by the bones of his fate
 Seeking now the light of Gnosis
 Closing the chasm of the nihilistic gods
 This place of wickedness and gloom
 A labyrinth of coiling walls
 Now lit by the flaming sword of truth
 Revealed in the light are legions of cannibals
 Feeding on the abscesses of fear that fester and malign
 Insatiable appetite
 One must conquer their demons with courage
 A hero dies only once, a coward dies a thousand times
