To Tread Forsaken Soil

There is a place you're not aware of

Still you're always a permanent guest

It is a place so dark and damp, you cannot breathe

Where your sanity is put to the test

A cloud of sound appears

It whispers and feeds your fears

Shallow voices speak in riddles

Show you directions with dead ends ahead

But on you walk, the endless miles, endless roads

Just to return to where your course was set

This unknown region, strange territory

Uncharted lands on the map of my sanity

Oblivion cast it's shadow across the plains

Not visible to me, I long to see anything

I struggle to recall, but I don't do at all

I don't feel misplaced, I feel I have been here before

I find a pathway that leads me further inside

To where forgotten memories hide

Hide beneath rocks and stones

Remains of what was known as

Wisdom's temple

Reason's fortress

Destroyed in wars of madness

And then you reach another dead end

You look around, strange sensations come over you

When suddenly a beam of light illuminates

the ground, the veil of doubt slowly torn apart

The veil of doubt slowly torn apart

I know this region

Black part of land on the map of my sanity

The spot of light on the soil makes me kneel

So visible to me, I can see everything

The earth is torn by my bare hands

My mud covered fingers, bruised and hurt

As rotten leaves and stones are past

I find my own face - buried in the dirt
