Exile

This arduous travel
Has all but emptied me
Exiled from golden halls
To enjoy earthly decay
I should not crave
For long gone past
Was it safe back then?
When I had my wings.

I've been here before
Yet I can't remember.
Instincts screaming
that I shouldn't be here
On the roots
where it took place
This is all too familiar
Here I was cursed

How can I chain myself in here?
How can I seal myself inside this tomb?

Deeper I crept these monumental stairs
which have only been witnessed by the dead.

This arduous travel
Has all but emptied me
Exiled from golden halls
To enjoy earthly decay
I should not crave
For long gone past
Was it safe back then?
When I had my wings.

Inside these ancient hallways
I gazed upon their idols
Long forgotten gods
Competed for my attention
Each one more noble each one more horrifying
Yet they could not offer anything to me

A filthy brothel disguised as a temple
Was all that was left of my cradle of curse
