Masters of Unreality

Adrift in a sea of unreality
Predatory creatures are circling
Although their nature is unclear to me
They mean to devour me I'm certain

An unnatural mist swallowing me
Ominous shapes are looming
Have my pursuers finally closed on me?
No, thank god, just a ruin

I know I'll meet my end
In this godforsaken place
How did I get here?
From elsewhere in time and space
Transported by some means
Far beyond my ken
What's this ahead, a portal?
Will it take me home again?

I am cursed to walk these lands
Strange and terrible
Malevolent observers
Watch my every move
Waiting for that one mistake
That will mean my end
Souls released from fleshy prisons
Easy prey for such as them

Each land a different shade
Another sickly light
Each shrouded in mystery
A thousand ghoulish sights
Ruined civilisations
Behemoth carcasses
But always ruination
What power could wreak such as this?

I see a glimmer of light through the hellish haze
I run towards it in hopes it is the ultimate gate
I'm so tired of running with nary a chance to rest
In a constant state of terror, my heart pounds against my breast

Please be the final hurdle, the journey at an end
Please lead me to familiar lands, please take me home again

Falling through space and drifting in time, my senses overloaded
As I emerge I am unaware, my sense of self has been eroded
As I recall quite what I am, awareness is returning slowly
My body lies on a precipice, a pit of seething horrors below me

I try to move
Limbs slow responding
My weight shifts
Suddenly descending
Falling into
The maw of the old one
Body and soul consumed
All trace of me gone
