Hidden Mysteries

by Nick Gisburne



The terrifying visions have returned
Obscene, hypnotic serpents fill my head
They swarm to seek the secrets I have learned
And feed upon my dreams, already dead
I feel the evil enter every vein
And suffer it to satisfy my vows
With each new surge of paralysing pain
I dive beyond the limits life allows
The knowledge, too appalling to release
Must never slip the coils of my control
I plead for death, for nothingness, for peace
But feel the dark enchantment strip my soul
    The torturer prepares another spell
    To steal the hidden mysteries of Hell
