|
To have gathered out of the substance of the void |
|
Death, thou art the pure source and negation of all knowledge |
|
Clothed in devoted words unspeakable by living tongues |
|
Die and become! |
|
Die and become, to drink from the Sun |
|
Formless presences return to burn alone |
|
Die and become, to nourish the worms |
|
Die now to return to the tree of life |
|
I walk the path of the dead |
|
Following the scent of an age-long trail of blood |
|
Hidden within a tortured recension of signs, oh close-lipped signs |
|
From an unknown wound, spake the dead of violence near |
|
On a course with no trusted guide, no hope, nor fear, |
|
Nor pride... Nor life... |
|
No glimmer of victory, cold darkness, burning misery |
|
Eyeless I walked this path... |
|
Leaving attributions in dust, to speak in signs |
|
Gaining a tongue known only to those who have died |
|
Dreaming the dream of a thousand dead |
|
All seen by a thousand drops of blood |
|
To have slept, to have seen... seen... |
|
To have become, and begone.... gone... |
