Press play. Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
Does fear in whatever form it chooses to appear in
Like a shapeshifting configuration of self-depreciation
Announcing the possible visitations sin
Emotional physically or spiritual
The three intricately laid foundation stones which it builds up from when it first enters the skin
Affect the way the Native finds new roads or instead chooses lonely highways to navigate life
Does its carefully leather-bound invisible suitcases they might present to then be carried everywhere like priceless jewels
Contain handwritten contracts to avoid taking chances
On people places or newer experiences and to always seek to abstain
Never to seek unfamiliar lands of hope to help them renew
As pledges once written in silence
Prevents them from embracing their secret God-given name to empower them to pull through
Does Dolor's archaic supernatural form take a strange irregular shape
Which keeps them invariably on the run
As it guides all their emotions like a machiavellian orchestral conductor
From which it transpires there is no escape
Under the dire threat of the sword of Antipathy
As it seduces them perpetually and becomes their only lover
Did you know Dolor is simply Fear translated into Latin
Will you find the strength and courage to throw its gifts of free suitcases
Into the gushing four winds and let the Trinity of Holy lights
Come steamrolling in
