Press play and let the music wash over your senses as you read. Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
After long nights filled with deep despair and incredible pain
Will you still try to rise like the early morning Sun
To challenge your heartbroken life again
With all the time that still remains
Do you daily pray to the Most High
To try to find some divine strength
To try to stand up bravely on your own two feet but still feel so lost
Like a lone sentry
Walking in sad circles
Like a crazy audition for Groundhog Day
Stuck in a loop filled with neverending rehearsals
In the Sons of Perditions
inferno flames
Or will you summon me to help extinguish its many infernal names
That encourages weakness in the stillness of darkness
For I don't care for all your human academic labels
Degrees, gender, status, creed or wealth
I just wanted to know if you're still willing and able
To listen to this form of divine communication
And some of its inspiring and maybe life-changing implications
To help improve your mental health
Or if you just want to sit alone
At some fear-filled table
For the company
You keep in these dark covid filled days
Of empty but so many disturbing lonely moments
Are so important
For that new company could appear to be great true friends
On the surface to your face
But they could also be simply gaslighting robots and depots
And who
If it's good advice you seek
You should stay away from
Like in Sodom and Gomorrah
That biblical tale about that courageous soul called Lot
If you really need my help
Light a candle and say my name three times
Then blow it out
Montserrat
hear my call
Montserrat
hear my call
Montserrat
hear my call
So be it
And I'll appear to guide you out of your pit of desperation
But only if you swear on your soul
A solemn declaration to honour and to my wishes submit
Wherever you go
