The Yonder Beckons

Long have I waited for the hour to strike
For the stars to grow tired and fall
Since the birth of the Earth have I waited
For the sands of its time to run low but tonight I shall wait no more

I'm leaving now on a trail to sulphur and salt
Yes, I'm leaving to the havens where all things known halt
The yonder beckons, the twilight oceans call
To forbidden shores I'll set my course

I've seen enough of your little world
How it helplessly in the darkness twirls
But from the roaring depths beyond the known
My maker calls, it's time to go

I'm leaving now, the sun is sinking in the west
Yes, I'm leaving, to hell with all the rest
The yonder beckons, the twilight oceans call
Towards forbidden shores I'll set my course

The winds of Apep are upon my sail
From beneath the waves I hear the old ones sing their song
And in the distance now the seventh lighthouse burn
That is where the oceans end and that is where I yearn

There begins a journey long past the seventh and ever on
The yonder beckons, I can hear its roaring wail
From the starless spheres of nothing
Where the serpent lets loose its tail
