I am the ageless adversary
My breath is tempest
My eyes dance with shadows
My lair is the void
Begotten in oblivion
My crown bejeweled in wantonness
My kingdom lies between
I am the sovereign of emptiness
My kingdom shines between
Nothingness manifest
Do I elude you?
For you could never fathom
And so you doubt me
But I precede thee
I withstand thee
Yet you descend from me
As do your sons
As did your fathers
Formed as my reflection
Brief and fleeting
As if the crashing waves were still
Were still
Were still, but if only for a moment
Until I reclaim you
And devour your existence
Your legacy and your purpose
Until I rend
The stars and tear the world asunder
I am genesis and the eschaton
And after all, this divine plan was really my own
Gods and heroes have struggled against me
As if they didn't know
As if they didn't know
Prima materia
Prima tempestas
Prima nocte
Prima certanum
My fangs tear at Yggdrasil, I encircle the earth
My venom weeps upon the chastised
My fruit bears the nectar of the exiled
My heart is wildfire, my name is malice striker
