Further Below: II
`~,,~`
And but for bramble and broken stone
Here I lay, among the dead things
Underneath moss and bone,
Fearing that which comes to take me
To take me further, and further
Down below
Where cruel ones wait
Tumbling forward
Slothful, vengeful, malcontented
vile monsters of ash and hate
There is sulfur in the stale air
And gloom now surrounds me
And though I know my heart falters to failure
I still fear
And cringe at that which is before me
Layered in soot and black ash
Ringed in the most unholy of countenance,
My heart fails at its sight
They are coming for you
Tumbling forward from black sunken cracks and crevice
The abyss opens forward,
more foul than words could treasure
They are here
And but for bramble and broken stone
Here I lay, among the dead things
Underneath moss and bone,
Fearing that which comes to take me
To take me further, and further
Down below
Where cruel ones wait
Tumbling forward
Slothful, vengeful, malcontented
vile monsters of ash and hate
There is sulfur in the stale air
And gloom now surrounds me
And though I know my heart falters to failure
I still fear
And cringe at that which is before me
Layered in soot and black ash
Ringed in the most unholy of countenance,
My heart fails at its sight
They are coming for you
Tumbling forward from black sunken cracks and crevice
The abyss opens forward,
more foul than words could treasure
They are here
