The banes lie unbroken, the air ready for those spoken mantras
Entry to other dimensions would be granted on those words of power
Down through the ages of strife and ignorance the words have been forgotten
Beyond earthly memory these portals now exist
and where the mortal stands, mages of a distant age once stood
and compelled the fibres to rent; to open; to reveal those mighty places
Sadly, those corridors have gone
and the pacts made by man with Faerie have long been forgotten
those glory days have been lost
the age of technology the culprit for closing down the human mind
and denying humanity the chance to witness portals to places on other worlds
opportunities common place in those supposed ‘prehistoric’ ages of man.
The relics still stand which lie like testaments to this forgotten age
Sentinels of stone modern mind fail to understand
feats of engineering the modern day is unable to reproduce
Lines of power abused by the minority with some semblance of understanding
energies harnessed by the selfish to control
simply because the majority have been rendered unaware.
Unknown faces once stared through metaphysical delights
into places which hinted this earth is not the only place which bears life
but sadly these jewels have since been removed
and only the highest initiates are permitted to be made aware
magical societies of man protect this wisdom so only their own kind are made aware
Even then the usage is limited to what the controllers desire ....
But lo!
An end comes to this denial
magical forces gather on inner planes
and build energies to open the portals closed on this side of things
mystics the world over are drawn to power places
and do not realise why
their potential is harnessed and forgotten technology purged
so on sensing those sensitive telepathic thoughts
the crystal stones respond
and the power lines are activated once more .......
