(A random voice whispers.)
Now I
Argento
The Third
Sing loudly
Of a new second freedom
A place where my soul
Shall soar
Into a new glorious bright kingdom
Purged to ascend
To float past all those who
Still descend
Those tainted still by
Pride
Wrath
Envy
Greed
Lust
Gluttony and Sloth
7 things you need
To make the soul cry
But tonight
I rise
Rise like grey swirling smoke
No longer grimace and choke
For after spending
6000 years
Sat on this hard rock
Watching the yellow sunrise
With a desperation
I deeply despise
For now, I've now found salvation
The Crow Queen
From Nesashabth
Has been
And invited me
To serve as her Mage
In her incredible marble halls
Of The Great In-Between
Who am I to say no
I might see Nebuchadrezzar
Under that new sky
For a newfound faith can purge even me
A once-broken soul
Who flickered and died
Like a shooting star
So here I go
Be seeing you
Who knows
Maybe you to will be purged
And allowed to follow
