... he looked upon the world

and saw that it was still depraved



as him

though not like him

for him, as all



but closed

like them

not him



unaware

he was

already caught within

their cycle

with them

outside

depraved



instinctive

rebellion

possessed

by bestial despair

he fought

this law

and broke

the spell



"So, this is why I built my empire

fled from the truths unto which they conspire"



in spirit born a stranger

a counterpart in mind

the seeker raised to bury

a freak among the blind



encountered with mysteries

on his mission to reverse their ways

he sought a life among the dead

with refuge in an endless maze



...before the silence...



"This can not be the purpose of my presence.

What then is the call of my return?"
