The Third Door

Everyone I've read this to seems to interpret it differently, so have at it.

You will see only what you will understand

Through faith and fire you would make your stand

Lifetimes spent searching, yearning for sights unseen

You all became sightless visionaries with hands unclean

Beat now louder the drums of ignorance

Fill the air with that darkly sweet fragrance

The third door opens now to massive hushed applause

But our blood is just water when spilled without cause

Casteless, causeless, duty ignored but honor-bound

Have naught wisdom heard but only violence found

Eating our own tails endlessly we spin in a mad god's twirl

Swimming in the depths of long-forgotten and dead worlds

Sing now the hymns of the blind

Fill our hearts with ash and words unkind

The third door opens in and ushers you all inside

And those who go cannot remember how they died

death has no memory only words
eat us now
take from this plate

all that has come and went
sing your
song

let not the river freeze

for death is no flower......................
