Never to see the sun again
This Sisyphean affliction
Fated litany of man
Countless echoes
Rest between the sires
Silent unacknowledged
Fated litany of man
Willess eyes follow shadows on the stone
Cannot be raised to see solar light
Vast secrets lay hidden in the soil
Buried deeper still bones of these ancient beasts
Swallowed by time
Returned to stone in the earth
Servile nature
Too weak to walk the void
This Sisyphean affliction
Fated litany of man
Willess eyes follow shadows on the stone
A compulsion to look seals the fate of those destined to see
To see the cold sun rise
Entranced minds ignore portents in the stars
Portents foreseen by few and heeded by none
Vast secrets lay hidden in the soil
Buried deeper still bones of these ancient beasts
Swallowed by time left to churn in the earth
By a maker who works no clay
Moves no minds heals no scars
Dissipates in the rays
Inured by tainted beliefs
Unable to turn their heads bound by flame
See the cold sun rise
Illuminating
Maddening forms and endless plains
Traversed without rest or recourse
Galvanised instinct infuses bone
Path lies hidden obscured
A Petrifaction of spirit and heart
Burden of knowing ignorance
