Whispering Deep

A whispering silence, a call looming from beyond
A longing for sleep that brings rest from all the grief
Past friends, past lovers, past all the earthly content
I found volition in self-abandonment

See the fortress wiped out by rain and hail
Standing in the dim light of an Evenstar

Breaching the core, exploding into a thousand gleaming sparks
For all to see
The storm is settling
The fortress lies in ruins just to be built anew

Staring into the void, black static fills the eyes
I’m driving the blazing lance into the heart of darkness

So for all the deeds left undone
All the words unspoken
I bid thee farewell my friend
Forever
Forever fare thee well
Or can’t you hear the whispers in the deep?

Flickering flames are slowly gathering
To burst into a new Sun
A star born from the gaping hollows
Of a lonesome heart
This legacy of a broken soul
Carry it out into the world
So the new disciples
They shall follow the longest trail

At last he is calling me home, back into the mirk
I bid thee farewell my friend, so forever fare thee well

A few moments may remain to stand atop the pantheon of dreams
Its shadow cast into the emptiness inside
Victorious beneath the wavering stars
And scattered clouds
