"Teach me your mood, O patient stars!

Who climb each night the ancient sky,

Leaving on space no shade, no scars,

No trace of age, no fear to die."

"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...
