Underworld

So many hands reaching up for a connection
 Forging a plan in a vertical direction
 But they made no movement i could trace
 Under the shadow of a most peculiar place
 Were they alone, though they seemed to be in hundreds?
 And then there was one shouting out, "it's truly wonderous"
 But i saw the darkness in his face
 Reflecting the shadow of a most peculiar place
 I moved in close to the center of the gathering
 And as i approached there were more than i'd imagined
 But the statue in the middle was defaced
 And shone in defiance of a most peculiar place
 I raised my head and shouted at the crowd
 But they had a volume that was twice as loud
 Ans easily my protests were erased
 For i was alone in a most peculiar place
 So i raised my hand reaching up for a connection
 Forging a plan in a vertical direction
 But i made no movement you could trace
 Under the shadow of a most peculiar place
