Deus Absconditus: Part II

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;

The infinite measure of time and space

Captures each of us for all eternity.

“Deus Absconditus”

No one knows what lies beyond,

“God who is hidden from man”

But it matters not to me

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.
