Care to look at some of my lyrics?

[UltimaBahamut93]

I'm writing a concept album (for my black metal project) that is about an elderly man who has horrific visions and nightmares about beings from foreign dimensions. He begins to hallucinate symbols that he learns are magical in nature and of unknown origin. Near the end of the album he is dying and has learned through astral projections into these realms of a secret gate/portal that will allow him to ascend into a higher state of existence, becoming ethereal and escaping death. Casting this spell sends his soul through the gate and then he will exist in a new dimension of reality in a sense of elevated life. I'm going for a very Lovecraft vibe if you couldn't tell. This is the title track of the album, where he contemplates the fact that he is dying, that he fears and despises death, and is seeking escape from his own mortality. I wanted your opinions on it.



Beyond the Eldritch Gate



The curse of mortality
The antithesis of life
Awaiting the inevitable end

The black curtain falls
Suffocation of the soul
A morbid mockery, the final breath

Such a forlorn reality
Moribund from birth
Since the begining, destined to fall

Flesh withering away
From the ravages of time
Obligatory departure from this world

But there is a secret path
Known only to a few
To escape the expiration that awaits

There exists a way
For those with the will
To pass beyond the Eldritch Gate

Esoteric arcana
Ritual of undeath
Supreme spell of ultimate preservation

Morbid mysticism
I shall evoke
The ancient sorceries

I conjure forth the words of power
The flesh of my phantom to them forever bound

My spectral being branded with the hidden scripts
The knowledge of the Elder Ones I have discerned

I wield the keys
To my own destiny
Eternal oblivion shall not be my fate
My spirit shall traverse
Beyond this mortal universe
And my soul shall pass beyond the Eldritch Gate
