*****

in space, witnesses a cosmic horror and interacts with it
Song is about what he does to himself and how he validates the mutilation
End is a rescue shuttle finds him and is left horrified
*****
The alarm sounds
As my vision fades
Crew lie dead around me
My memory fails to recall
An explosion? A blast?
My ears still ring
I am alone and lost
Floating in a void of the endless black
Out of the port hole
What is it I see?
A vision? A horror?
A fool my eyes must be
Spectral terror
Shimmers of color
Visions of beauty
Impending doom
---------Chorus----------------------------------
In my sanctuary
Surrounded by stars
I've never felt closer
Closer to God
Unparalleled beauty
To share with my friends
I'll bring them with me
To their cosmic end
---------Chorus
Countless maws
Countless teeth
Speaking to me
Words of sacrifice
Endless knowledge
My mind is clear
No need to hear
The flesh tears easily
No need to speak
Which is harder to complete
Mouth unhinging
I must be unflinching
My god demands the sacrifice
Body shaking
Yet my fear unbreaking
My mouth, now gaping
---------Chorus--------
Reaching limbs
Grasping my soul
I understand the next call
I reach for a blade
Eviscerated
My bowels hung
Is this enough yet
My lord of no sun?
Tendrils reach through
Guiding my hand further
I can write its gospel
For I am it's apostle
Image and symbols
On the walls
I hope they will hear your call
Deity of all
---------Chorus
The eyes of a god
Piercing and old
Projecting images of infinity
My mind can not withhold
Rip my eyes
From their place in my head
My god demands my focus
And I will not dread
Its thoughts guide me
His path providing
All the sustaining I need
She has enlightened me
---------Chorus--------
The warmth of blood covers the floor
Crimson and pure as I let it pour
My hands are stained with this fleeting gift
But thanks to you my eyes are now fit
The expanse reaches forever
On through the endless void
Where your form awaits
All life's final resting place
---------Chorus--------
The rescue has come, their ship arrived
They hurry through the airlock
Seeing the fates of the crew
They fear what they know already true
The hallways marked
With sigil and body part
Guiding the blind through the maze
Flesh without signs yet of decay
The final room
What a sight
The art Ive left for the creator
Makes them fall into fright

A visage constructed
From our meager forms
They gasp in awe at my work
As I bear a little smirk
My body twisted
And hung in the air
I see no light
But feel her glory
Frail without anguish
Brave without fright
Im complete in my struggle
Praise the god of the night
