Shadows speak oblivion

It speaks of loss and vermilion It speaks of everything and eternity Shadows reek of dead things n burnt dreams Shadows hide the faces of the world The truth from the light, the madness In houses of civility, things of industry In the deepest night, shadows linger, creep Shadows cover our misbegotten deeds It speaks of loss n suffering All hidden things in plain sight Of oblivions needs, righteous creed Shadows speak; truth where lies flower Shadows speak, righteous riddles Shadows reek of decay, lost power It speaks of the past in vermilion hues It speaks of everything, eternity n deities Shadows reek of dead things n burnt leaves Shadows hide the faces of the world, sublime!
