The Temple And The Tomb

Beyond the dawn
Beyond world's end
Beyond tides where time starts again
A hope is born
A promise in silence
Five gifts divine to rise from the dust
To not be led astray
So few remain who recall the way

And endless line has come and gone
While truth becomes ever more mysterious
Even so do the signs persist
The hidden threshold to a well of knowledge
Transcend and be consumed
By the temple and by the tomb

So besieged; the master's keep
The sacred trust betrayed
A pledge to guard the waning light
Amidst the end of days
As creation relearns to create

After the fires, when all is said and done
Beneath the ruins
The first of foundations
Upon to build anew
This vision clear as was seen before
All is provided, eternally forged
The challenge lies within
The rival's fate thrown to the wind
