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?"
