In the endless field of stones

I walk against the wind

It howls at my face


I hear in the wind

The cries of the spirits

They call to me


They ask for salvation

Freedom from their tombs

And I Oblige


Upon their release

They swirl around me

Like a funnel of blood


I see the red of demons

I see the white of angels

I see my sanity drain away


I feel my humanity

Fade away

I lose my soul


The void of a body

Left behind

They enter it


They ravage my mind

They take everything away

As I watch in horror


They control my every move

They choose my every word

We become one


I am them

They are me

We are one in the same


We will destroy

We will rule

Everything is ours


We are many

We are one

We are legion


No, they are legion

I am me

I am not them


I force them out of me

My mind clears

I am freed


My sanity returns to me

My humanity returns

My soul rebinds to me


I lock away

The evil voices

But it is not enough


Their tempting voices

Never leave

My mind


They twist my thoughts

They fill my dreams

And make me their puppet


I am their prisoner

I am their tool

I am their weapon


I will never be free

Because all I am now

Are the spirits that control me
