Death's Arc from Ersatz Soul by Onw

Blood pours out faster, alone
Maybe you can crawl to the water
Reading scrypt
Death’s arc

What’s that in the distance? A flash?
Fractured through the fog, coming out its mouth

A hatred pierced by loneliness
Red glow
I am crawling, heaving out of the dark
I seek agency and light

A shining just out of sight
Mimic God
Hiding in the caverns
Amongst mirrored pools

Trapped for so so long
I can rest now in the light
Crawling below

The death’s arc

My steps grow easy, pulled into the sky
Reaching the world line, revealed to me
I strip off my armor, it melts into Amulene

Here, Azur is my guide
And with so much pain and death around me
How can I not say I’ve failed it?

Death’s arc

Impaled as consequence
Of violence at Bent Spark
Out of sight above
Death’s arc

There is no absolution
While so much pain prevails
I am not but one being
I am bound to all that is

To shepard every Onw
But I faltered yet again
Without my weapon Azradin
I must have dropped it on the path
