Listen Close
Listen closer
Abode of tales whispers of the gone
Wander closer
Dust of shadows, tales await
Tears cried out bellows of pain
But one as always is seen
Bound by the voice of bellows and blame
Tales of the ancients and our brothers
Kin and sisters
With horror the list of names
Screams fade bowing before the one they fear
Cavern thee of whispers engraved
Abode of sorrows and lies of pain
Dust of dreams failed
Shadows a failed shield
Darkness protects its own
Faced with the master of truth
The liar's patron
Shall thou flee?
Cavern thee of whispers engraved
Abode of sorrows and lies of pain
Dust of dreams failed
Fallen monuments to forgotten crimes
Abode of tales whispers of the gone
Dust of shadows, tales await
Tears cried out bellows of pain
But one as always is seen
Bound by the voice of bellows and blame
The shadows move and deny themselves
Light a candle
The point a flickering blade
Was it lit for the brave who went forward?
The fool who failed?
The coward who lived?
In the darkness the flame a weak blade
Grows ever weaker
Not so blinding
No longer blinded
You start to speak
voice growing weaker
you whisper
faced with the master of truth
the liar's patron
shall thou flee?
candles lit
