Weight of Eternity

Whither has gone the sun?
Where are the stars to light my way?
These winds cry a mournful tale,
Speaking of unutterable loss.
Blight has fallen upon these lands,
And I am a failed god
In this kingdom of dust and ash.
With heavy heart I walk
Amidst a throng of broken memories.
Thought has quenched the light.
And I carve my grief in every stone,
In every dead tree.
Whence has come this sickness?
Where is the flame that burned so bright?
A grave for every hope that died.
A name for each star that fell.
Only tragedy begets greatness,
And this world runs deep with despair.
But there are none with whom to suffer it;
Only these monuments remain,
And I, bearing the weight of eternity.

Hollow Earth

We questioned the gods
And the hollow earth alike,
And found not in the faces of men,
Nor in the spirits of beasts,
Not in the passing of restless waves,
Nor the narrative of the soul,
A place to call our own.
Here on the sepulchral foothills
At the end of the world
That seemed to us plagued and diseased,
Here we found our tired feet had taken us,
Into the coldest night,
Away from the wretched creed of man.
Under a sunless sky,
Adrift in the ecstasies of apocalyptic euphoria,
On the heights of despair,
Here we came to bear witness
To the graves of our failed gods.
We crawl under the rubble
And dig up the bodies,
And find not in the bones of our forebears,
Nor the ghosts of the past,
Not in omens that speak of things to come,
Nor the calling of great tragedy,
A place to escape from ourselves.

Under Darkened Vaults

Veil after veil is released from your soul,
Veil after veil swirls intangible in the air.
How many veils covered your soul, how many secrets have they buried?
Why have you hidden your depths from light, from air, from surface?
You told yourself: everything is extreme, unutterable.
And off you went taking the church bell, covering the windows,
And under darkened vaults built your temple.
Veils that covered secrets, and secrets that hid sadness.
The mystery of veiling is revealed unto us
In the aerial dance of the veils, the mystery of all that is unutterable.
Veil after veil is lifted from the soul;
Mysteries approach the world, the light, the air, and the surface.
How veiled were these mysteries, and each tombstone.
So many dead lay under them, so much sadness in you.
