The Other World

You'll walk
  and you will see
     what remains 
  of your destiny
       unreal sights
 and sounds of the 
         other world
 have penetrated 
    the walls of 
        your exsistence
   a thin grey smoke 
         is rising
    from the ground
          you'll ask and 
    you'll ask again
          what the fates 
   have in store for you 
   but you may not be asking 
          the right questions
      the other wordl 
  has its own 
           rules
    where the fates, 
    the Muse and the 
      avenging Eumenides
          play by 
  their own rules
        light poring 
down from the sky
      signals another day
       hold on, brothers, hold on
  to the chariot 
        which pulls your hopes
       open your eyes and view the day
Later on, you may not               
        get the chance
