Gateway I 11:39
I wiped clean the alter of my own sacrifice. Myself in exchange of your affection. What a sight. A beautifully painted disarray of the same infected wounds dripping before pleas to the one in question. A bowl of my own blood reflects the self. I peer within me. I’m indifferent to the risks involved with the toying of such deadly shards aimed at my fragile body. I’ve seen the same end repeatedly and I’ve heard the same hoarse cries of the child huddled in the corner of what was to be. A beginning cursed without knowing. A beginning cursed at the birth of innocence. Memories stained in glass for only my eyes alone that are impossible to describe. Arms waving in distress only to be met with laughter. Betrayed once again. At the end of everything, it all goes silent. I gaze into the fire. How toxic the lips of the whore can be. As the poison takes hold, I become so cold. Death awaits, but does not bring conclusion.

Gateway II 08:16
Dreamlike. But a reality. Night wakes. Hovers. Suffocates. Breathing ceases. Deceased. Not even me. The corners crawl, they speak even. The shoreline touches our feet. The same again. Here again. At the mercy of mercy they hold my wrists. How am I alive. Embrace the coming wave. Translucent weight veils the brow again. Cut out my eyes, flickering lights reminds us of time. A voyage like a ship with wings. It burns to the ground. The angels no longer sing. I love the way it feels. I love the way this drowning is so chaotic. Take me. Wake the pendulum, let’s dance to its cruel judgement. Shake me until I come to. In limbo our voices hold no keys. The window is closed but the walls shake. A pleasant ringing when the body stops feeling. I’ve lost track of time. I’ve lost peace of mind. A rose is just a rose. That too will fade, and she decays. No I don’t know you. Not the way I used to. Why won’t the screaming hold me like it used to? In certain context the scrying mirror reveals thy keeper. Inscribe the markings of the forbidden truth. Cut thy flesh and anoint thy brow with the cross roads. Beyond the veil, leviathan reveals his true self. Under the ocean of subconscious he pulls me through.

Gateway III 06:59
It’s beautiful. Making home in trances, no way else to live. I rather not. I can’t open my eyes. The blood doesn’t stop, my love, I’ve given you my sight because one only need to feel the cold of your skin to be whole. Yet never enough, my warmth leaves. What curse follows the carriage? It haunts. Crawling beneath the floorboards... feeding, to satisfy its hunger. A silhouette is left in doorways and haunts my entry. We share each other in between the spaces of time. Only there do we face ourselves. Forced to live with the truth of it all.

Gateway IV 10:10
Reflections of a dream. Killing instincts. The scent of sweet blood dripping from the nose onto the lips. An eloquent disregard, I crave more. I seek truth. Freedom. I place the blade into the flames. And as they lick at the metal of his very crown, a thunderous applause echos throughout the chamber. Alas! The king seeks to claim his rightful possessions! To free the child. To allow my whispers to influence the predator. Exposing all he have held within. The black hilt guides the path upon his flesh, with such ease and no vacillation. My offer to you.

Gateway V 15:57
As I lay down my sorrowful hands and submit myself to the darkness, I can no longer deny the satisfaction of a bed made in nightshade. The sweetness too tempting. The whore seducing me with the promise of truth, unlocking all that I’ve longed to obtain. Oh how the harlot sings. Fallen deeper within the crevices, The path trampled in stumbling footsteps. In your absence, I’ve fallen down a path I cannot undiscover. The knowledge held in this plateau of subconscious, unfathomable. Such is strength when wielding the blade. You will never understand why, yet hardly do I. Death dances at my collapse. Upon broken legs I stand. Drink from the chalice. My will as vociferous howls echo throughout midnight skies. Even in death, may my will eternally entwine with the roots of life and rebirth... may I master them both.
