... he looked upon the world
 
 and saw that it was still depraved
 
  
  as him
 
 though not like him
 
 for him, as all
  
 
 but closed
 
 like them
 
 not him
  
 
 unaware
 
 he was
 
 already caught within
 
 their cycle
 
 with them
 
 outside
 
 depraved
  
 
 instinctive
 
 rebellion
 
 possessed
 
 by bestial despair
 
 he fought
 
 this law
 
 and broke 
 
 the spell
  
 
 "So, this is why I built my empire
 
 fled from the truths unto which they conspire"
  
 
 in spirit born a stranger
 
 a counterpart in mind
 
 the seeker raised to bury
 
 a freak among the blind
  
 
 encountered with mysteries
 
 on his mission to reverse their ways
 
 he sought a life among the dead
 
 with refuge in an endless maze
  
 
 ...before the silence...
  
 
 "This can not be the purpose of my presence.
 
 What then is the call of my return?"
