Heaven's Coffin

Deep into the darkness peering
Long I stood there fearing
Dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before...
But the silence was unbroken
And the stillness gave no token
And the only word there spoken
Was the whispered word: "Veritas"
This the dark whispered
And an echo murmured back the word
Merely this and nothing more!

Fools and faith conspire
Questions of desire
That they never owned before
Kings without their armour
Men without their honour
We all slip into oblivion.

We are the dark inside the night
The ghosts about which the poets write
And the dreams that night's embrace
That slowly leave without a trace.

O! Suflet, sparge-odată îngusta-ți închisoare
Și scutură-te-odată de lutul pământesc!

Vreau să m-agăț de tine, spre cer năvală dând
Cum viermii de-un cadavru se-agață mișunând!
