Through The Darkened Veils

Through the mists I hear your whispers

The haunting ethereal voice of death

You tell me truth I do not want to believe

“Some minds are forever beyond all human understanding”

I take a light step towards the darkness

In which you clothe your soul and hide away

But you bade me still to listen in time

“I need to give you the truth you have earned”

Silent I stand and await your silvery command

For all I have searched for is the truth that you lost

The forest about me clears in a moment

“Behold that man you want to think is omniscient”

Veils of time, mist, darkness and soul

Part to let me glimpse the holy sight

A frail man walks with a limp’ed hunch

“Woe for the mighty fall and are weakened”

And a wicked smile reveals toothless gums
