AgelessA Poem by The GlassfaceTo peer into an abyss it to stare into adventure Tiger's eyes the end goal Sucking upon fiery kisses to ride the waves Questions raise problems where the jigsaw is sharpest Why bother with failure when you reach for the sky Screaming to him for a sign when you know she doesn't care Prayers met with an empty hollow wind, screeching fog Despot of this barren sea
Tell me, wise one, how did you obtain the peak This is my mountain, my home My Of course you're the natural, I was never around to see your prime Time before time when sands become a scattered river Baptizing all in it's flooded wake, where the torrential outcry sleeps Ashes to ashes to cast stones with, fortune tells me a map When I speak of the sacred fire, I am handed a spiced drink Omniscient venom seethes in me
Empires crumble, even the walking dead balance the void Terrible agony The Wretched I call him in my sleep to fight a worthy rival We meet and there is nothing beyond him and he sees similar Smashed my head, let the cries silence themselves within the ancient rhythm Entreat me to your flight away from me, elsewhere in another time Stories only last as long as the words are spoken They too can die How many others have tempted to topple fate such as I When is there a path to El Dorado How would I traverse the boundary, who got it correct? Temples are the horizon and the seas of the skies are my home
Cry out, you heathens You monsters Give me the banshee wail
