The growing dark brings nought but torment
Drawn back the veil reveals the ever-present vigil
From in the black vault it stares intently

A message conveyed - bleak
The contents of which unknown
Forlorn and surely strange
Yet a message to convey there is

Slow and resentfully
Ichor embracing
Alien visions
Yet somehow aware

Drawn into obscure dreams
Another plane
Foreign but still
Familiar

Centred on a plateau betwixt dueling peaks
A marble colossus slumbers always
Spectral, I observed
The vision surpass dream
Once a shade, corporeal
What was ghostlike; made real

These unseen beings
Speak a foreign tongue
A language not yet heard
But one I understood

The speakers all foretell
The march of hellish fiends
Atop a tower I give watch
Where sleep dares crawl once more

Marble now replaced with mire
Plateau replaced with swamp
Dream leaves me in this place
Lost here without a way

To return from this dream
To escape the encroaching dark
To reclaim my marble home
To awaken
