Portal

Forever I've suffered in this world, con't prosper, no Monument of ruin, dead empires, statues decay Endlessly searching for an end to my pain, gone Seething, tumultuous suffering, decadence, mine Fiercely seeking death, existence, my plague All hope, a disease lost in a lost time Fallen from your secure world to famine and death of your values gone Nothing is held sacred The meek beholding the ruins, scavenge for life, seeking answers, dying Monoliths of decay Downfall of our race imminent, deadly stampede for a refuge lost! Forgive us for our wrongdoings, bring salvation to our burdens, take us Longing for the ending, now our souls are burning We've been forsaken, our lives are not worth a thing We can't survive this, the boiling cores of our strife Something's arising, brilliant ray of light along the dead horizon A protal leading, unfound path leading my way to voids of serenity Or so it seems, nothingness, emptiness, nothingness An entrance to a world that man has never met Garnished in utter peace, endless shapes of beauty Infinite suffering ending as I proceed Fleeing through the portal into the tranquil scenes Behind me lies the world, dismal and unrestrained Encloaked despondency left behind forever My senses disappear, all the pain and fear Searing benevolence, perpetual, my hopes Somehow I realize this can't last forever The life I have left behind pours back into my soul Hatred raining in through walls far too thin Bewildered by rage, newly found hope, gone Now trapped in this hell, my portal is gone I take my own life, never born again --- Portal - Origin
