A Looming Resonance

Staring onward
As time stands still
Devoid of tribulation
While time stands still
Starlight breaks this darkened haze
Filter through decay
Moonstruck children indisposed
Malignant culture thriving on
Defile the sanctum
Of this place

Winter now converges
Drenched in all its blackness
The last stalks of light are devoured
Shadows
And so they march on hallowed ground
History repeating
Behaviour that has been burned into the bone
Staring onward
When time stands still
A thousand years of fruitless searching
Object of desire beyond the reach
Of old and brittle hands
With bated breath, anticipate the end
Voices of the vanquished echo in the dreams

Where is the fire
That dwells inside
Darkness returns with cold embrace
Staring onward
When time stands still
Devoid of tribulation
Time stands still
Staring onward
Time stands still
