Test of Will

from Shadows of Lonehill by RAVENTHORN

/

lyrics

Leafing through the grimoire’s pages Seth discovered an eldritch ritual
“And thou whose will is strong enough to cast this wicked spell
Thy deepest wish shall be fulfilled in full, yet thou will be compelled
To sacrifice what has a value tantamount
To yond of thy desire”

“Raven’s sigil
Thou shall inscribe
Shed thy blood in
Smoke of a pipe”

By this guidance
Seth did abide
Opium eased
His restless mind

Reality began to
Fade and he found himself
On the edge of a cliff
Right before he fell in the void

Weight of his body slowly vanished
Seth’s whole essence has transcended
All human traits of his have perished
Now as a raven he descended

Thunder struck in thickening clouds
No land in sight
He’s trapped inside this direful shroud
Imbued with blight

In the distance emerged a silhouette
Of his lodging
Ghostly floating in clouds in front of Seth
Inwards him luring

He approached it
Seeking answers
The closer he
Got the more his
Heart sunk sensing
Some sort of an
Evil presence
Inside

He sat on the open window’s sill
In an instance recognized the room
It was his flat that he was in
Succumbed to his instincts he entered the gloom
And noticed that on the floor
A corpse lay with its face down

Suddenly the walls closed in
Nowhere to run, all the paths were cut off
Seth recognized his sister’s singing
She opened wide a door for him
Saving her kin

He flew towards his only escape
But the joyful reunion didn’t last long
He found himself in a room full of light
Irene’s not there, he was alone
In his own home

Right before Seth came back to senses he heard a voice of an ethereal entity
“You have passed the test of will. With the first rays of sun get into the carriage outside your house, and your wish shall be fulfilled”.
