The Beginning

I bring you into a land Where only mad men reside In this land even the purest things bring about ruin Even the truth becomes distorted by lies As you walk past the cold stone walls Notice that to your left is the dying And on your right you will find the dead These are not real men as you might think But only memories of the best kind Which decay in this dark chamber Look now upon the sun that shines like blood In a sky that is never blue And feel now the wind that blows hot This is the truth as true as it can be told Which is as true as the wall will allow Look far within and understand my words For they are true of us all Yet some will oppose this for fear of their unveiling Others will wholly agree And it is this that you are truly free Let only those stay who believe the words I speak For the others are nothing but cowards And only the bravest are allowed on this journey For it is a journey of great length And not all that begin are sure to find the center Because of fear that what they see is far more true than I say Now let us begin the journey of which I speak It is a journey into the heart soul and mind
