“and silence makes it so”

admin

(By Hyperion)

way down in the dying landthe darkness seems to knowi will take you by the handand silence makes it so

travel light and mark your paththe darkness seems to knowotherwise you face its wrathand silence makes it so

if you get there before ithe darkness seems to knowkeep the vigil; danger’s nighand silence makes it so

heed the twilight of the daythe darkness seems to knowgrowing black and bleeding grayand silence makes it so

your journey came to crossroads’ deepthe darkness seems to knowyou bowed and made new vows to keepand silence makes it so

your path forever altered therethe darkness seems to knowthe burden yours to never shareand silence makes it so

severed ties are on your mindthe darkness seems to knowthose you scorned and left behindand silence makes it so

now i am your master truethe darkness seems to knowbe still and know i come for youand silence makes it so

way down in the dying landthe darkness seems to knowi will take you by the handand silence makes it so

[This poem was modeled on the immortal Lyke Wake Dirge, and makes more sense read aloud. It was originally published in 2005.]
