Paarthanox Pink
Paarthanox Pink
There was once a man
who made a deal with the devil,
losing both limb and mind.
Whose thoughts once ventured uncharted dreams
to discover and to find.
Paarthanox Pink.
Beneath a grave of stars doth thou sink,
unto vistas of beauty, in its purest essence
which dwell in labyrinthian luminescence.
Where the soul of that dead man serves
in archaic damnations he deserves.
The Sunsett City,
once ruled by Paarthanox Pink,
who sought unknown things no man could fathom to think.
In his madness was he consumed,
and so was his city doomed.
In oceans of the sky,
Where he ventured to die,
The warden of the stars could not keep a leash
upon the myriad stars he had kept like fish.
