As All Must Come to Pass

Time is a beast inadherent to rein
 Trapped in its hounding, unbreakable frame
 Few, few are we, impossible the odds
 To witness as mortals, the fabric of the gods
 I never saw what came for me
 And yet it lives within my dreams
 It whispers from a restless void
 Sleeps with eyes wide open
 The deep and slumbering question
 Rears its head one more
 Is it reality that dwarfs the dream?
 Or a realm of illusions that rules supreme?
 I've seen too far beyond the veil
 And peered into its soul
 And once it answered
 Once I was complete
 Witness the birth of legacy, of sacrifice
 In pursuit of paths still veiled
 In the shadows of a great unknown
 Our desperate covenant was made
 All must come to pass
 Time is my foe and I wonder
 Was it worth to be bound in this ravel of dreams?
 The vast Stygian labyrinth lives on
 Traversed only once we are gone
 From the lowliest worm to the cosmic scale
 Sum principium finis omnes
 Shrouded in luster from trivial to grand
 In the hollow, we are made whole
 Woven through birth and demise
 Struggling to grasp the patterns of
 An essence leaks from every source
 Transcending human concepts
 Lost within the awe and splendour of all
 That slipped between our fingers
 As a bastion of wings appeared to our needs
 Molds our selves-to-be
 Threads of future, yarn spun between
 Ever elusive, never in sight
 Fools presume to see the knots
 In the ever-twisting chaos
 Lost in a maelstrom of folly and unwritten paths
 Multiple strains move beyond comprehension
 In a strange familiar place, in a murder of wings
 I beheld the fate of all, of all that is
 As it becomes and our cruel lineage
 From the birth of time, we have wandered
 Primordial depths we have dwelled
 From an abyss of worlds, we venture
 Through the shades of a great unknown
 Long as time was abstract we have wandered
 And sought solace in turning of tides
 Mere threads in the grand tapestry
 Cursed envoys of a lost legacy
