Heavy Metal #1

Something came over me,

deathless and free,

seducing me with promises (time, space, eternity),

but nothing good, nothing free.

All for a price: sanity.

Do I join the fool’s march, do I walk over the edge

to take the pledge of the deathless?

The more I wonder, the less sense

it makes.

Ignore the hollow ones,

before they drown the world in a scourge

known as damnation.
