Circus Maximus

Desolate man, parted from the world
"Nobody sees me, and Im not even a nobody..."
But in his mind, in his thoughts, he is sure
That this is not how he is meant to be
He wanders the streets, with a near empty bottle of wind in his hand
He is cold from the rain and wind
The last red sip keeps him warm
"I am on my own, with no direction of home...
A complete unknown..."
That very night he had an eerie dream,
That would tell that things are not what it seems
Death has reared himself a throne
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
Had they gone to their eternal rest?
He awakes in awe, as a man in front of him
The man explains of why and when
The new order of ages will rise again
Ultimate sacrifice demands great pain
No longer all alone, yet gone from the real world
"Mere puppets are they! As they will obey us they know, the 6, the invincible woe!
We consist of the most influential souls of this world, soon our order starts its dwell
To infiltrate into life, and let mankind through Hell!"
Liberate tu te me ex inferis
Behind the curtains laid an all too dark secret
The highly evolved, ascended masters controlled the destiny of mortal man
Advanced technology ploughed their path
Intelligent entities who only knew wrath
A stab in the back, a Judas kiss
In ignorance they obey
Marching unnoticed into land and nation
Without a moments hesitation
A shattering assault was drawing nearer
Yet the final result was not here
One last dance all too unethical and wild
"Shed the blood of an innocent child"
For him this would be too big a burden
He resists, and refuse
In denial, he awakes...
Wait, something isnt right
A familiar face appears
In the distance, a white padden room
And needles in his flesh
"This cant be! Where have I been?"
"Im not alone!"
"Youve been here all along
Glad youve come around
Thought we had lost you there for a moment
Welcome back!"
Ultimate sacrifice demands great pain
No longer all alone yet gone from the real world
Something wasnt right, nothing we could do
"Still Im gone from the real world"
