City Of Millennia

Behold this city of millennia...

Carved in rock my ancestors' names
Perished once in cold blueish flames
The grass long gone from misty mountains
Fetid breath spewed forth from abandoned fountains

Dimensional gates forgotten in this age
Reopened soon with ancient rage
A time beyond time's creature leers
From chaos-ridden outer spheres

Circles, squares and broken pylons...
Sorcerers' lights announcing the ones...

Parallel sights, spaceless and stealthy
Ruined and scattered what once was wealthy
Imaginary fortress crumbling, so brittle
Giant stones, a boundless riddle

Symbols in dust slowly washed away
Disappearing as a mind goes astray
Wandering dreamless in fear of its past
Multidimensionality in realms so vast

Circles, squares and broken pylons...
Sorcerers' lights announcing the ones...

Madness confronted with seraphic delight
Mingling and prospering, the essence of night
Crawling shapeless and omnipresent
Intervening forces twisted and bent

Flickering lights reflected by stars
Cold fire melting sand into glass
Engulfed in darkness shines this domain
Cutting memories, crystalline pain

Circles, squares and broken pylons...
Sorcerers' lights announcing the ones...

As I lie dormant in this
Mighty kingdom of stone
Damé kúm damé - the ultimate promise...

Sharpeyed entities lingering there
Finally home in their hidden lair.
