Burning The Shroud

Aeternus

within you it lies since the rise of your time

you've feared it ignored but truth never lies

its existence marked at the birth of time

the darkness inside

the shadows

that dance in your soul



to deny is to fear

embrace the darkness

reveal in its power

within it lies the harmonious truth

a voyage into the cave of shadows

yields the jewels of knowledge and wisdom



does not the night

and the silver moon

enchant your being



the caressing whisper of the night

no harm will come to those who are true of heart

look to the sun and the brightness shall blind you

stare into the black embrace

the sight deepened with wisdom



free your consciousness

accept the reality of darkness

it has never been a place of dread

knowledge and wisdom

is given to those who seek

achieve the empowerment

of endless mysterious nights
