Bid Them Return With Knowledge of Eternity

Bid Them Return With Knowledge Of Eternity Send out your best wandering tramps to the far halls of mortal darkness Bid them return with knowledge of eternity and golden words secretly hidden Beware phantoms will cut and burn their hides that are soft and tender Where demonic fires consume each mortal soul a few hides will there toughen. Few return but we the living may profit from dark and deadly encounters Hercules, half-god more than mere mortal sowed seeds in man's seeking spirit Forever we seek the golden chalice at costs far too steep to bear Sent courage, blessed gift from the Netherlands where in darkness, sparks of life blood is kept Bid them return with knowledge of eternity Where demonic fires consume each mortal soul Hercules, half-god more than mere mortal Sent courage, blessed gift from the Netherlands R.J. Lindley, June 19th 1971 Note- From my private writes/journal. Age 17 and walking through dark corridors..
