Descension

He burden of life
Weighs heavy on the shoulders
Of those who arose
From within time
Shadows seeping through their skin
Like a darkened liquid
Nesting inside their thoughts
Breeding within their minds
Time corrupts even the brightest light
Like roots it grows
Deeper and deeper into the suffocating intellect
Spreading like a virus
Eyes once white and clear
Now nothing but a bleak vision of what is to come
Brought to its knees
The monolith awaits
Inch by inch the gate draws closer
Like a gaping mouth
Awaiting to devour the last remnants
Of this hollow sphere
Time corrupts even the brightest light
Like roots it grows
Deeper and deeper into the suffocating intellect
Spreading like a virus
