One day I was dead and didn't know it. I woke up.
Everybody 'round me talking bout how I had fucked up.
Picked myself up off the ground.
Then I turned around and saw me bleeding, bloody, blue.
Felt an icy claw upon my shoulder. I shuddered.
Dared not turn around to face the creature but it uttered:
"Now your time is come, dear boy,
so let us go. You know. We must be leaving: moving on."
And I felt his pull
I fell into
A vale so calm and cool.
Therein there ruled
A King in Blue
who said He knew.
He knew.
Upon my soul he peered,
re-living every year
and every act of spite and fear.
And all my hope was lost,
for all my sins had cost
the presence of a god.
They found me wanting!
One day it was night and then I realized; I left life.
Couldn't see the sun or stars if I even had tried:
Nothing but the lack of all,
til mournful wailing note arose but oh-- that voice is mine.
Felt the absoluteness of my gone-ness: [ ]
Couldn't help but become one with all that nothing.
He who left me here abandoned
in all this hollow and lonesome throatless, screaming, quiet--
I felt his pull.
I fell then, through--
until the dark consumed.
I felt a fool;
a fell and cruel
end to my tale,
so soon.
Upon my soul he peered,
reliving every year
and every act of spite and fear.
And all my hope was lost,
for all my sins had cost
the presence of a god.
