Who Am I?
Who am I?
I am the tread of hardened history
That whispers of tomorrows passing
I am the Father of the Sky
And the Son of the Moon
Who am I?
I am shimmering shadows on an Earthly shrine
As reflections of a ghostly pale
I am the son of a mother-less World,
resplended in sorrows dreadful repose
I am the piercing light that breaks the binding darkness
I am the weight of the overturned stone
Who am I?
I am the baleful stare of jealousies wicked heart
The pull and tear of desires frothing purge
I am the blank countenance of the defeat of knowledge
As the Wolf that howls at midnights turning
I am the deaf ear that looks past the darkness
As eyes that are blind, but see
Who am I?
I am Death
And from life I have come
All these I am
And of I have gone
I am the Son…
