Depraved — Emperor

... he looked upon the world and saw that it was still depraved

as him though not like him for him, as all

but closed like them not him

unaware he was already caught within their cycle with them outside depraved

instinctive rebellion possessed by bestial despair he fought this law and broke the spell

"So, this is why I built my empire fled from the truths unto which they conspire"

in spirit born a stranger a counterpart in mind the seeker raised to bury a freak among the blind

encountered with mysteries on his mission to reverse their ways he sought a life among the dead with refuge in an endless maze

...before the silence...

"This can not be the purpose of my presence. What then is the call of my return?"
