The Magicians Deceit

Far back in the ages of the old The dark magicians came bold They attempted to steal our magic By showing us ways it was evil All while against us they were deceitful  Beyond the stones and buried bones Myths were created to cover the moans The secrets were not all they stole It began by killing the story keepers Taking their language along with the reapers They hid in places of secret truths Their lies began to grow roots Within the same hallways they hid Behind their indoctrinated books Slaughtering more as people gave looks Few were left of these horrendous crimes Into hiding they went for many lifetimes They buried as much as they could  In hopes they would find their way home Through their bloodlines they were left to roam Perpetuating the madness on every shore Destroying things way down deep to the core Mixing the dark ones amongst the light In hopes that ancestral roots would be muddied Along with everything left to be studied History was changed through the written word Until you couldn't even trust what was heard Focus fell away from simple to complex Reading between the lines is not easy for most As to why behind many were left as a ghost
