Peter

 (A lone voice whispers.)

I could be the last thing 

You'll ever see

If you're worthy of bathing 

In the Holy Sea 

When the great cleansing fire

In here

Comes 

For there can be no true soulful redemption

Without suffering some form of pain

For that first spark of sorrow

No matter how big or small

Can help shape all your tomorrow's

And unspoken questions

Such as

Will you rise or fall

Kneel broken or stand tall

For all the cycles you ride

Within this simulated labyrinth

Where

You might hide

Defines all you are

Like festivals of the spiritual seasons

Appearing

Suddenly

Near or far

Without rhyme or reason

What says you

Do you want to see me into eternity

Waiting to unlock these gates

Or will you do good

Endure the soul's purge

And do something worthy

To be let in

For your place

Beyond the clouds

For The Almighty's Will

To be done

As you join the lines 

Of our brave Angelic soldiers

To combat sin

For in these dark times

In Twenty

Twenty-three

The darkness is growing in tempo 

Everywhere

You go

But with faith

In something greater

Light will prevail

And Darkness

Servants will be derailed 

From prayers

By Angelic soldiers

Chanting 

By drums

Beyond The Veil
