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!
