I would normally pray, but my faith has succumb to ruin
At my sight of what the universe had been freakishly a-brewin’
In a coal mine we had worked and toiled away
When a howling scream tore through the shaft
Upon its horrible sound I abandoned my craft
And followed a sound I could never truly convey
Just as ghoulish thoughts beckoned me thither
The sound drawing near sending me a-dither
From the dark an erratic shadow of my colleague ran by
From whence he frantically ran purple shimmer I could descry
I plodded towards its resplendent allure
And came to a chamber which my colleague had met
There lied a chasm of light in an awe so pure
Peeking down its maw my senses were beset
A thousand horrors starred through my being
By the amalgamated terror of which I was seeing
A frisson of fear so ineffable took ahold
When I met with something my god never foretold
