of shuttered minds and darkened hearts
What foul wind has blown them shut
Let shadowed fingers seize a heart
Silence the drumming beat of truth
Closed the doors betwixt age and youth
How has the acrid stench of doubt
Cauterized once open minds
Denying all but what they fear
Rebut with silence all they hear
Then tout with words of dueling gods
The evils of each others words
Unleashing with vitriolic breath
A love of life now steeped in death
The Wizards world a dream uncertain
Controlled by those behind the curtain
