Mythraeum - Through the Nether

The beauty of the world has revealed itself to me
Through passages unseen I discovered whispered dreams
I’ve come to understand the purpose of my pain
Spawning the desire to break my chains

I was led to believe that I dwelled in eternal night
A distant longing has unveiled my lies
Forever gazing at the horizon I must claim
Forever inspired by the coming days

For all the times that I was so blind to see
For all the memories that I buried so desperately
A glimmer of light has peered through the caverns
By my solemn ember I traverse through the nether

For all the times that I lunged but did not fall
For all the ones I drained and dissolved
A glimmer of light has peered through the caverns
By my solemn ember I traverse through the nether

Clinging to deceit as I continued to decay
Those venomous thoughts now have been unmade
And now I know that it was never too late
And now I embrace my remaining days

I was led to believe that I dwelled in eternal night
A distant longing has unveiled my lies
Forever gazing at the horizon I must claim
Forever inspired by the coming days

For all the times that I was so blind to see
For all the memories that I buried so desperately
A glimmer of light has peered through the caverns
By my solemn ember I traverse through the nether

For all the times that I lunged but did not fall
For all the ones I drained and dissolved
A glimmer of light has peered through the caverns
By my solemn ember I traverse through the nether

This realization comes with a cost
Yearning for redemption and the hours I have lost
Despair and hopelessness enraptured my mind
In that state I came to a place where nothing shines

Why did I hide from that which I needed most?
Why did I obscure myself from those who were close?
Neglecting their concern and selfishly consumed with dread
Resenting their words and wishing to be dead

And now I am free
