Into the Light Pt. I by Noneuclid Lyrics

Twilight, endless
Trapped in dismal chill
Where time and world stand still
In solemn chambers, faceless

Amidst the silent choir
Of giant trunks that sing of doom
Forlorn in cob-webbed, ruined gloom
Ascends a lonely spire

My orphan egg's hollow shell
Is all that remains of past unknown
Naught but yellowed book and bone
Where none but shadows dwell

I pine for want of starry fire
No erring beam has touched my eye
But candles, beckoning me to die
Their wax my sluggish pyre

At last, I climb
The tower's inner wall
Better to behold and fall
Than blindly submit to time
But what trick of yore
Dares mock me at apex' height
Bewildered by the awful sight
I open up the door
