"My allegiance is with the inner self The dark celestial voice of wisdom Beyond the dust that is this world" There is a voice adrift in the starless And marble black dark space A voice of wisdom and purity Beyond the vestiges of sanity There is a voice deep in the darkest places Calling haunting me Where no light bears a shadow Where no time escapes unhallowed I am compelled to dissolve Into the eternal unknown eidolon A voice that leads to a world beyond A mere mortal's most profound dreams Yet I know There is no turning back from here There is no place for the undeserved Gone are the relics! "Teach me your ways Of hatred, unlight, and death I offer myself to your wisdom My allegiance is with the elite!" There is a voice adrift in the darkness Calling, calling me A whisper of wisdom and purity Beyond the vestiges of sanity There is a voice deep in the starless And marble black dark space Where no light draws a shadow Where no time escapes unhallowed "An effigy; a gift from another kind" In the glow of a distant aurora light No dreams shall take form Gifts dwell in the depths of Things unspoken This night
