Ozymandias - Horrendous

Spectral dawn dazzling

Drink deep the mirage

False fantasy

Desiccated dreams

Bones bleached

Wander on

Pilgrimage to nothing

Fear god

Fear death

Fear love

Speak not, make no human connection

This vessel walks alone

Fear life

Fear truth

Fear the unknown

Consciousness floods the brain

In a universe ever-expanding

Spiral into madness

Traversing undulating sands

Impotent god

Infinity lies at your feet

Legacy lost

Fear the burden of creation

And I walk into the light…

But only shadows greet me there

Save me

Is it better to wander than create

When time will only lay to waste

The fruits of our labors?

«Look upon my works, ye mighty and despair»

Even gods return to dust, a memory forgotten

I see Ozymandias' petrified sneer

Are we all condemned

To wander here for eternity?

Master, answers I seek

Master, reveal yourself to me

I have walked the desert lands

The tree of knowledge I have sought

I drank from it’s roots only to become lost

And perched at the edge of creation

Entire lifetimes passed

I found him and awaited his decree

Beneath the twisted mask, the master was me
