Canticle Wake up, Wake up son For the world has changed And the sun went dark Forever or for now… Like a breath in the silence After a year’s sleep I can still hear the whispers The last rays of a dying sun Stained the windows Like clouding blood As shadows crawled Along the streets and grow Wake up son… For the world has changed… A stupid dream is shattered The beast humans have become The knowledge lost in the abyss In an instant I can see it all An instinct buried in me Shows me the way I wanted to go The naked truth within me Wants me all alone.
