Slaughtbbath - Inverted Hierophany

Roaming in the desert
Following the serpent
A path, deserted
I follow the serpent

Fading memories
Before my pilgrimage
Frustration and impotence
No answers in my own empire

I turned my back to the sun
Rejected my possessions
Bereft of it all
Seeking a revelation

Desert
Ways of no return
Desert
There is no turning back
Desert
Abandon all hope
Ye who enter

Ruthless storm of sand
Tormenting thirst and hunger
Overanxiety
Invasion of fear
In this starless darkness
I can't distinguish the traces
The marks of the veins
The whiplashes of the Gods

Calling unto thee
As a dignitary of thy wisdom
To behold the light
To see the unseen
Was the truth just nothing
The answers reversed
Illumination less bearable
than all my fatal doubts

Centuries of wandering in circles
Following my prints over the sand

Legless I crawl... I am the serpent
