. . .Temporal Distortion. . . Standing in the twilight, I raise my hands to the rain; Let the droplets fall and cleanse the pain. Let the lightning flash and the night wind roar; Search my soul, all it's hidden doors. Search my heart, let the blood beat inside; Bare my soul open, leave nothing to hide Weight of compulsion drawing me under; Taste the allure of eternal black thunder. See hollow clouds roll against the darkening sky As illusions fade before my eyes. Beneath my feet, the charred earth quakes; Up from the deep rises a twisted black gate. Choice to be made as I stand at the cross; Risks to be lived or opportunities lost. No time to think, no time for emotion; I place one foot forward and set action in motion. Visions fade to blood-red as I sink into the light; Senses are dead, the final good-night. Spiral falling and screaming - maniacal intorsion; Drowned in the vortex of Temporal Distortion. . . .Scimitar Wraith - DARK - (c)1994. . .
