The Sorcerer Above The Clouds
Spectral Lore
As my soul and body broke their chains My childish wonderment has returned I travel in the endless seas of creativity My eyesight cuts through the fabric of the world To reveal the invisible dance within A multitude of entities and potentialities And I rage, because the sights I witness Do not reflect the order of the world Taught by the sages and kept by the sentinels Which I've been told is built upon them I sing then the song of Heresy It cuts through earth and skies in blasphemy All those who know but dare not speak Have gathered on my court And each of them has brought a stone For me to build a tower up so high To study the Arts and write a new decree To reveal the true Order to the world Sheltered and guarded by my faithful ones, I did Furiously I worked, to majestic spiritual heights Who waited of my guidance to wage revolt And great victories they had, bringing down false towers As mine grew larger and larger Until the eyes burned from the Sun Of anyone who tried to look at the top And my voice came down frail and blurry Translated to the people by the elders Who did not want to recognize the subtle shifts in tone And the dire warnings that turned to bloody curses Curse to you all men who seek for kings and sages! You will raise them to sky to turn them into relics To convince yourself there's someone Who won't ever fail you Your order will never be eternal But only eternally Everchanging Ι smite your crumbled thrones And spit at your baseless pride
