To Wander the Void

A million miles from everything the emptiness is everywhere
 The lone and level sands stretch as far as I can see
 Nothing but the hollowed eyes of skulls and ancient bones despair
 Remains of those who wandered this wasteland vast before me
 Fatigue and famine render every step a tribulation
 Beneath the blistering sun sabulous winds just a mockery
 Lost within an infinity of dust and desolation
 The vultures circling overhead await my lonely expiry
 Maintaining this course to nowhere I have traveled so far
 Far beyond the valley's carnage and death's silent repose
 Compelled to journey onward by the calling of the morning star
 Haunted by visions and voices, memories or madness providence only knows
 I can't remember when or how I'd first lost my way
 Thirsting even a tear of solace knowing naught will ever come
 Siren celestial have mercy on me allow my flesh into dust decay
 And carry my soul far beyond this damned and forsaken kingdom
 I fell to my knees as the last trace of strength slowly faded away
 With stone in throat I knew I'd never reach the hallowed and promised land
 I conceded my carcass a vulture's feast, my soul eternal umbrae
 Once a king, now nameless, forgotten, swallowed by the seas of sand
