Antithesis – Netherworld

Tossing, turning, restless

Can not sleep

Drenched in perspiration

Dampened sheets

Nestled in nocturnal darkness lay

Reeling, my subconscious

Mind at play

Drifting, fading, falling

Losing grasp

Clinching, gritting, grinding

Teeth I gnash

Astroplaning dreamscapes

I survey

Out of body, spirit floats away

Half asleep, half awake

Upon the edge of twilight

Past the gate, past the maze

Guided by your mind’s eye

Exit the realm of reality

Opening the doors of perception

Through the corridors

Of the labyrinth

Enter the limbic void

Drawn to moaning voices

Calling out my name

I walk into a room

I thought from which they came

Bodies wrapped in orgies

Writhe in mortal lust

Sculptured figures made of flesh

Turn into dust

Right before my eyes

Changed the scenery

As the floor falls out

From beneath me

Sucked through a hole to an infinity

Into the vast unknown

Tormented cries of those

Cast into the abyss

The screams descend

And hallow in eternal pitch

The vacuum vortex

Swallows souls

In swirling stew

Into the belly of

Leviathan they spew-

That’s when I woke up
