A faceless man who wanders through the daylight

Is casting shadows no one stops to notice

His empty eyes that search for recognition

A futile voice that echoes without answer

People brush his shoulder without feeling

And nobody ever glances his way

His existence is forgotten moments after speaking

A presence nobody ever asked for

Ancient tomes reveal forbidden knowledge

Rituals dеmanding blood as payment

Secret pacts with bеings from the darkness

Entities that hunger for connection

In his room with candles burned to stumps

He cuts precise incisions in his forearms

Draws the symbols learned from dripping pages

Whisper words in tongues not meant for humans

From the corners where all light cannot reach

A formless thing begins to take its structure

Eight long legs furrowing in empty space

A silent creature born of pure resentment

Weaver from between reality's thin membrane

Comes to answer your desperate calling

Makes no sound but speaks inside his fucking brain

"Give to me your blood and give your hatred

I will make them feel your isolation

I will thread their dreams with your foulness

They will know the heartache you felt always"

The covenant is sealed with the final cutting

Crystalis emerging, this is his becoming

A man who once was nothing walks through burning light

Now he's seen, an araneae monstrosity
