The Hunger

Beyond the light of this world, dwelling in the fields of Nod
Lies a place behind the veil, for the hungry to see
Come forth, he who wanders
Reveal all that is locked
Tonight is the night that marks the first hunt

The night is a womb, and I am her child
Obsessed with the death that flows from the wild
Granted the key, but search I must
For the final gate

And just beyond sight, shines a light from the crack
But the shadow it casts swallows all who stare back
And deep in the chasm dwells the ancient flame that burns within us all
But few shall carry the torch that speaks its tale

Tempter from the other side who haunts my dreams, now move through me, so the forbidden fruit may fall
And I shall heed your call
