+A city of blissful mortals and mournful souls
+Within weary walls, and the winter cold.
+Under a gloomy sun behind a misty veil,
+In an year of a single night and a single day.
+

+

+Voices of the unquenchable soul, unheard
+In the peaceful silence of existence.
+Captured and bound by earthly vows,
+Driven to despair by an unseen foe.
+

+ +

+A musty past, scrolls of seekers lost
+The only remnants of a fading quest.
+As a forgotten god, a bottomless well,
+Hollow and unfulfilled it shall be.
+

+

+Puppets dancing to self made strings,
+Without a master, without a cause.
+Echoes of music from beyond the veil
+Resonate within their empty souls.
+

+

+Illusion of conviction, conjured
+By the shadowy trickster of guile.
+He who pulled the greatest trick of all
+Lies shrouded in the shadow of the cloud.
+

+

+The future holds the answer,
+To the unasked question,
+Will lightning strike?
+Or will nighttime fall?
