Creatures groan at me from the darkness
Telling me to trust them
Monsters moan at me from the shadows
Persuading me they're human
Demons hide within the nothing
Refusing to let me see
Humanity shows their true colours
Senseless war, destroying the earth
People put on a display
Abused children, blatant intolerance
They take a swing at me
Bloody my nose, send me on my way
The humans are at their worst
While things creep from the shade
Wearing humanity's best.
By desperate candle light
I sit in a circle drawn in dust
Muttering in a language I don't know
My mouth forming words I won't remember
Words that exist only for me
For just this moment
Words that die, forgotten
With their last echo
With these words I fill the room
My energies making the air tremble
As I pull it taught, bending reality
Willing it to break
The dark in front of me is broken
Spiderwebs of light form, grow
Shredding, shattering, opening
Showing me to my salvation
A malicous puff gusts
My last light gutters and snuffs
My spell collapses, my exit closes
My candle goes out
With a wail of despair I sit
Locked in this darkness
I quit
