As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of existence is to
Kindle a light in the darkness of being ’ carl jung
Sometimes red curtains fall
Before the act has headed for the wings
As on that night disaster crawled out from the stalls...
Suddenly the dark, the thickest stygian dark
Pressing on all sides with vertigo
Running from the quickest in the sickest abyss
My spirit’s lifted by an angel of woe
A dredged up drea_dful past
Drags discordant thoughts my way
Unforgiven and driven to despair
I sense the mordant wraith azazel
Through this persistent dream
And by its welcome glimmer
The brutish groping nightmares
That hide beside the light
And a voice like a pride of lions
Screaming bloody murder as
A shining gateway opens for me
Death, the great adventure
I welcome death, the great avenger
Vvhere those who stalk the living haunt the murk
Untethered pleasures keep them tied to flawed
Floating upward still, to where the tunnel mouth reveals
Two manticores that ward an ebon door
I muster lean resolve, as the luminance dissolves
And i am thrust headlong before their venomous jaws
But here accursedness is vastly deeper
Uneorgiven and given to torment
Groteslnje, bereft of judgement
Where stripped oe all but sele
One must wish to be destroyed
To pass on somewhere else
Beyond this pit oe wicked shouts
Aeons i eailed to rail my doubts
Before eear leet love saving me
And a voice like the clash ortitans
Screaming bloody murder as
A shrouded sky opens immensely
Abundant erom the cliees that stunt hell’s
A view oe breathtaking beauty
Unveils, as the sun disperses
Death, the great adventure
I welcome death, the great avenger
With dawning truth, this morning suits
The world i leet abruptly
In exaltation, i find mysele alive
Near—death to steera liee long’led corruptly
The sweet silver chord that keeps me mooreds
I know that heaven sent her
From the cold to hold her face again
I rose from death, the great adventure
