From Beyond ( Version I / Part 1 & 2 )

By Damon Tarloth

 
This is a rough draft, so I hope you are not too disappointed... I am currently fixing the errors and rewriting new lines at the bottom...
 
Seeking out the chosen one,
Desire spreads once begun,
Power envelops, strong chains hold,
Feeding from a time of old...

Flowing through emotion or an act,
To gain you must give to the pact,
Nothing is free, always a cost,
Something precious or all is lost...

Always a price to find, unleash, to bind,
Rituals of Power corrupt the mind,
This must be done to aggregate,
Blood, Seduction, Hate, will generate,
The more you give the more you create...

To slake the hunger it must be fed,
Search for power to be drawn,
Horrific moments dead and gone,
Visions clash, images thread,
Open your mind, embraced by dread...

The power of darkness fills your soul,
Something inside rivals against your control,
Blood of crimson runs down the wall,
Memories of events you don't recall...

Castigate, call out its name,
Protect yourself as it does the same,
Attack, never relent, or give in,
Exploit a weakness to imprison...

Command your will to end this game,
Flowing through sorrow and endless pain,
Be the master, control your fate,
Summon your fury, your hate.. and finally... Dominate...
