Exile of the Gods (digital)
1. Exile of the Gods
"Nothing will be left but graven words and only the stones will tell of thy piety" (quote off an ancient prophecy, found in the hermetic scriptures)
I‘m waking
in this wasteland
forsaken
and outcast
the shame is damning
the guilt‘s crushing
and darkness
has fallen
what have we done?
our hands stained
with their blood
injustice
has befallen
we have become like dead leaves shed
like empty shells cast away
like dying embers
forlorn and forsaken, forsaken
dead leaves shed like empty shells cast away
like dying embers
orphaned and widowed
and leaden the distress
of the knowledge of evil
the scales fell and left nothing
than black tears of lostness
the blood on our hands witnesses
sheer desolation has befallen
repent
return
recure
restore
