And as I watched him writhe in pain
I felt that familiar horror;
Struggling to breath and console my fear,
I realized once again

The true nature of existence.
That awful reality I've tried to forget
Since I was young.

“Deus Absconditus”
The eternal void that awaits us all,
“God who is hidden from man”
Whether Erthwile bound or a Relic like me;

“Deus Absconditus”
No one knows what lies beyond,
“God who is hidden from man”
But it matters not to me

The infinite measure of time and space
Captures each of us for all eternity.
Whether it is a neverending paradise,
A burning pit of fire,
Or a void of non-existence

Whatever horrors or pleasures
Await us after this life
Will never eclipse the cold chill
Of time's endless decay.
