And so they said:

It is done....
And the king and the master both said
all in my court shall be dead.
And the ones who died were laid in shame
And the children, never to smile again.

And the amber of the moment past,
and the king and master built a kingdom to last
On the bodies of those who had died,
on the tears of the mothers whose babies cried.

And the shame of the world was rooted,
and the minds of man were polluted
with all the unanswered prayers of the deceased,
in the faith of the cross worn by that dead priest

who said to all the children before he died,
never to leave a life to end in why?,
there is no redemption for you here-
death is the least for you to fear.


Death is blind
and so it sees
beyond what normal eyes
perceive.

Once your gone-
neither lost nor found,
we raise the stake
lower you to the ground.

Such a useless question:
what lies beyond?-
what awaits beyond
our bodies bond?

It is not meant
for either I nor you
to answer such a question,
to know its truth.

We must be patient
to know our fate,
to pass silently beyond
the other world, that waits.
