The Eyeless Needle - Dark Sermon

Serpent of infinity, the infinite snake

Scales upon scales and waves in its wake

Monolithic obelisk entwined in figure eight

Cold-blooded treachery stands guard at the gate

I will find the open wound

As above, so below

Contort and harden, painful and ever slow

As below, so above

The torturous snake constricts the captured dove

As above, so below

Little heed to warnings, no softening of the blow

As below, so above

We both know this is the only way up

And yet you work the needle without an eye

«I would rather eat myself than allow you to pass

I, the swallower of the future, the devourer of the past

I am the harrowing fear you swore would never last

Forever are you entombed in the shadow you cast»

Walk forever

And now you walk (on) forever

You work the needle without an eye

But I will find the open wound
