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
