In the eye of the storm

A lone shore beckons

In a heart careworn

A threnody sounds, dreary and foul

As thou set sail upon the gale

The battle is lost, but the war remains

Praise the fallen, the glorious dead

Sleep eternal, unknown halls await

In the fires of remembrance…

...an ancient sound

Once and for all, tear down these walls

That holds the seed to eternity

A thousand voices doth call upon thee

To break the chains of mortality

As the spear pierces the flesh

And the hangman's noose wraps thy neck

A radiant eye watches all

In numinous waves of a new dawn

The portal is open

Souls of the dead lead the way

The circle is broken

Into formlessness they ride

And so the last chapter has been written

With a kadmos soaked in blood and burning tears

For the ones who depart from this earthly prison

To the mountains beyond, to the stars above
