This mechanism of mine
I drag it wherever I go
Bolted to my body
A parasite
Oh how it weighs me down
Through the valleys I crawl
Plumes of sulfur enshroud me
Blinded eyes no longer guide me home
I am lost
Forever in clouds of dust
Here in this barren wasteland once civilized
I find myself alone in this misery
Scattered remnants around, me my only friend
I wander on in search for means to an end
Lost in fumes of sulfur I'm paralyzed
Exhaling my final breaths of life
Alone and mutilated I'm cast aside
A mere grain of sand amongst a billion
Have I exhausted myself?
Beyond the point of going home?
I am misshapen beyond belief
A parody of human form
Is there anyone out there?
Or am I left to witness my own demise?
I beg for someone
Help me
I can't go on
I don't want to die alone
Thrown into the depths of oblivion
A spiraling void down to infinite great tribulation
Insensate whimpering I form into a fetal position
Dear mother won't you come to me
I long for the touch and the warmth of a gentle soul
Hold me
Promise you won't let me go
As I plea for mercy
I hear nothing but the echo of my own voice
Deathly stillness encroaches around me
Like a rope pulled taut round my neck this air suffocates me
Kill me
End this great suffering
Take this
Life off my hands
No one
Rushes to be by my side
I slip
Out of this world
Into the ever black
I toss and I turn willing to wake up
I'm stuck in a dream
Pinned to the ground by hands of steel
I wrestle their grip away
Only to find there's nobody there
My heartbeat accelerates
I can't concentrate in this haze
Is this what it's like in the afterlife
A bleak misery to relive again
Open my mouth to scream
But there's no voice after death
Holy Terra awaits for me
I'll walk in the midst of men a kin to a god
I'll witness the grandeur before me
I'll weep tears of joy
To be home at last
Resting safe and sound
Never to leave again
"It is here on this desolate world of the Mechanicum that fate befalls our fallen brethren. In fumes of sulfur they rot forevermore"
Lost in fumes of sulfur I'm paralyzed
Exhaling my final breaths of life
Alone and mutilated I'm cast aside
A mere grain of sand amongst a billion
