Aphelon

A Silent Drowning

Aphelon


As one to infer from receptions 
Of a nihilistic yet dormant haze 
Transmissions from those who ponder 
The ensured entrapment 
Of the free to the maze 

Oh how they wander the thirsty 
Oh how they falter the empty 

Their calling begins... 

Echoes from the heart of a sophist 
Who would sing on his feet 
'fore bowing to death 
Inclined to embrace the deceivers 
As they drown his voice 
In the lake of sheer fear 
You have witnessed the circle 
Of the spineless 
Who extinguished the flames 
Of heroes gone passed 
But those who are drowned in silence 
Their screams do wander 
Until they are heard 

If my heart should beat as anothers 
The melodious murder of difference falls 
And is choked by fearful control 
He must emancipate his voice 
That flew too high for their eyes to see 
And sang too loud for their hearts to bear 

May the transparent 
Veil of your conception 
Bear you witness to my rebirth 
For my spirit did sing 
And my voice did soar 
But you drowned me in silence 
Thus from your conscience 
I return with unrest
