The Beginning
I bring you into a land
Where only mad men reside
In this land even the purest things bring about ruin
Even the truth becomes distorted by lies
As you walk past the cold stone walls
Notice that to your left is the dying
And on your right you will find the dead
These are not real men as you might think
But only memories of the best kind
Which decay in this dark chamber
Look now upon the sun that shines like blood
In a sky that is never blue
And feel now the wind that blows hot
This is the truth as true as it can be told
Which is as true as the wall will allow
Look far within and understand my words
For they are true of us all
Yet some will oppose this for fear of their unveiling
Others will wholly agree
And it is this that you are truly free
Let only those stay who believe the words I speak
For the others are nothing but cowards
And only the bravest are allowed on this journey
For it is a journey of great length
And not all that begin are sure to find the center
Because of fear that what they see is far more true than I say
Now let us begin the journey of which I speak
It is a journey into the heart soul and mind
