Final thoughts…

There I was...
There I was...

Cold...
Alone…
Yelling with myself...
Which foot first?
"Take a step."

I swear I did I swear
I swear I did I swear

Because there's not no reason
Reach out
Extend myself like Regent
I can't share my secrets
But I can definitely share my demons
Even the odd ones... believe me.
Lying there, dying, 'til I'm seasick
Suddenly sunken thousands of feet…
The depths.
Descending into euphoria until I rest
After this I'll never sleep until death
Pull me apart.
Flesh scattered in the water: the dark.
Lack of light.
Crush my heart.
Hope to die.
Surrounded by loved ones
Saw them cry.
Talked with Gabriel; asked him why
I...
committed the ultimate sacrifice
He said
"As above, so below… as am I"

And I fell right there
I swear I did I swear

Crush my heart
Hope to die
Feel euphoria
Close my eyes
Hanging on
Only life
Feel euphoria
Close my eyes
Crush my heart
Hope to die
Feel euphoria
Close my eyes
Hanging on
No more life
Feel euphoria
Close my eyes

All I could see were silhouettes of the rocks below me.
Above me: only darkness.

And as I stood on that ledge...
Millions of years passed by me in an instant.

Everything I know died long ago.

And in that instant: two decisions were made at the same time.

As above, so below: as am I.

But only one of those decisions were mine!
And I screamed at the sky:

"I will raise my hand one inch more!
I will make my stand all alone!"
"I will raise my hand one inch more!
I will make my stand all alone!"



Final thoughts...

I thought I'd mention.
I didn't want to be remembered.
Still don't.

Thankfully, that wish will come true for all of us.

When the Sun explodes.

Water all around me…

[Octavius Roy Orozco wakes up.
A cacophony of medical machines.
The Priestess is by his side.
Her warmth fills him.
What lay before her was someone she hadn't yet met.
She had summoned the Third Imitation of the Baphomet.
Roy goes to sleep.
His dreams sing to him.]

I will raise my hand one inch more.
I will make my stand all alone.
I will raise my hand one inch more.
I will make my stand all alone.
