Return To Genesis

Echoes ring from Ancients, past
To warn beyond the shadows cast

Faith has grown too dim to see
While lulled in sway by treachery

Vipers plunder through the night
And man will fall without a light

As day by weary day the truth is bent
Prophets decree, “Repent, repent!”

Times are such as one may be lost
When the soul forgets salvation’s cost
