Fading Light

Underneath the mountainside lies a maze

of brashly stones, dark and freezing cold

Its secret yet is covered well

and unseen are most creatures dwelling in pain - so they say

Root and tendril twist their way through long forgotten halls

Noone's ever dared to cross before

Memorize your turns, my lad

in case you understand what I am trying to commend

Light is hope and on hope you depend Spying through the darkness: unresting eyes

When I turn around

they vanish all at once out of sight

Still prepared to attack

as they await the fading of light

Clinging to his oil-lamp hard

he moves on for hours

till he gets sight of an underground-lake,

so calm In its center stands a

mirror coated with thick grimes

So it is done, unveil the myth of time

Blind with curiosity

he's heading for the isle

across that narrow bridge, a wile

The sea engulfs

and extinguishes the light Spying through the darkness...

Memorize your turns, my lad...

Crying for salvation,

efforts in vain

Insanity!

I'm surrounded by the hands

of endless night

No creatures attack,

noone beholds

I'm surrounded by the hands

of endless night

No creatures attack,

noone beholds

the fading of light!
