Peer, o’ heart, into the dark
That lies before us both.
See the truth the priests may hide
Lit only by a lantern’s light
Forgo your oath, observe but loathe
The might of gods denied
That darkness, creeping - ever seeping -
To the crevice of one’s mind
Sing, o’ eyes, for through you spy
The witness of life eternal
Those ancient things of stranger beings
Breathing the fumes Avernal -
Set to your keening, for through your seeing
Forsake the right of your birth
O’ heart, still pounding, its drumbeat resounding
Singing the song of your worth
Peer, o’ heart, into the dark
That lies before us both;
Look at that you cannot know
And dare to go regardless!
