Celestial Effigy

"Teach me your mood, o patient stars.
 Who climb each night, the ancient sky.
 Leaving on space no shade, no scars, no trace of age. No fear to die."
 "My allegiance is with the inner self
 The dark celestial voice of wisdom
 Beyond the dust that is this world"
 There is a voice adrift in the starless
 and marble black dark space
 A voice of wisdom and purity
 Beyond the vestiges of sanity
 There is a voice deep in the darkest places
 calling... haunting me...
 Where no light bears a shadow
 Where no time escapes unhallowed
 I am compelled to dissolve
 into the eternal unknown eidolon
 A voice that leads to a world beyond
 a mere mortal's most profound dreams
 Yet I know...
 There is no turning back from here
 There is no place for the undeserved
 Gone are the relics!
 "Teach me your ways
 Of hatred, unlight, and death
 I offer myself to your wisdom
 My allegiance is with the elite!"
 There is a voice adrift in the darkness
 calling... calling me...
 A whisper of wisdom and purity
 Beyond the vestiges of sanity
 There is a voice deep in the starless
 and marble black dark space
 Where no light draws a shadow
 Where no time escapes unhallowed
 "An effigy; a gift from another kind"
 In the glow of a distant aurora light
 No dreams shall take form
 Gifts dwell in the depths of
 things unspoken
 this night...
