Memories once in bloom, fall like autumn leaves
Turn to rot in the wintry ground
The pathway has been lost under the snows of institution
The rules and the ways of this orb now too much to take
The cry for freedom, once so loudly heard, has faded now
To just a rasping whisper.
The mortal who pens the entries, now like all the other sheep
All hope of rank is gone ... the rat race too stressful for any escape
The open window, bolt shut tight, never to open once more
The tree guardians forgotten, those ventures along the boughs faded imagery
All is lost, there can be nothing more, make or break became failure
It's over ... it's over now ... the descent to here was a total waste of time ...
The melodies too far distant to hear
A mind has closed the door and the voices in the hall are but fantasy
No guidance comes in a desperate hour of need.
The door closes now, and as it shuts tearful eyes watch the dust form
Corrosive and radioactive, sun rotted air all must breath
Pollution has its putrid tentacles grip the binding tight
And make the loser's histories go crashing to the floor
To shatter like precious glass; shards lost in the cloaking snow
Lost forever ... like the power of white alchemy which once rocked these lands
Magic is gone ... has faded from the mind ... perversions rule here
Forcing the good to kill the good and become more the bad
And the bad play like demons in a once godly field
Sadly now it can only get worse; there is no cure.
This place; this hallowed earth has become a terminal case
And man is made into the parasite which poisons earth's once precious soils
And the demons which play the marionette, rule here
Here in the place where it is now too dangerous to bear a soul
Where the soulless act like gods and the soulful cower in caves
It is too dangerous here the sign shall say, no more angels must come here ...
And for all those who remain here, trapped in the icy reincarnation halls,
They face a fiery redemption to rid them of the demon that rides their soul
The garden of eden is no more ...
