Toward the Devouring Light

I walk where there is no path

but where I tread I leave a trail

Finally my eyes can focus

I’ve peeked behind the system veil

I and my will to voyage

ahead of this time and place

Until the day

when the path proceeds on it’s way

Draconian efforts to increase in progression

What we sow is infinite regression

Let the evidence speak

We are marginal in this design

I will name this place

it is the city that swallowed the light

I will name this place

I was the one that brought home the night

I’m bringing fire to the furnace

my quest is one that cannot fail

The sun inexorably shines

but my skin has a sickly shade of pale

I know a disloyal servant

never a master could make

But who took a bite from the apple

and who hid in the skin of a snake

And when the light of ubiquity fade

like waterfalls growing shadows cascade

I was the torchbearer

that brought home the night

to the city that swallowed the light

I will name this place

it is the city that swallowed the light

I will name this place

I was the one that brought home the night

The end had to come

And somehow you’ve always known

That our days were few

And that it would all come true
