For ages it has seemed, day, night And seasons just blend into one From the stillness of these ruined halls Such lifeless falls, beds long dried In endless struggle to excise the dread Of staying or leaving behind And parting with revelries past Yet hosting and nursing all that's despised Fugitives from static thought The joys and rues of cities behind May a new day come to find The shields relinquished The masks undone So it is done A haven flooded by rain Drifting away with the tide From faces I'll never see again To be all and none with all Cleansed, washed ashore The ego's fabric dissolved Naked, at sunrise, touch wide open Like a newly born How did it come to this? The truth erupts Like lava and burning flame From deep within For every childhood dream, one thousand wasted means One horizon out of reach One moment strangled by fear As time sleeps away from me To always be Unveiled
