(Haiku 1)
Fingers press like stone,
Airless void consumes the light—
The earth swallows all.

(Verse 1)
With my hand upon your brow,
I unmake your world, sky, and ground.
No glimpses to warn you, no light to guide,
Only void — darkness behind your eyes.
I need not strike with sword or spear,
As I also seal away the world you hear.
No whispers left, no footsteps near,
You are alone with only your fear.

(Pre-Chorus)
Each Dragon has their story, each story a path,
Each path a lesson—but lessons ignored invite nature’s wrath.
When earth rejects you, when air turns away,
What will you have left to say?

(Chorus)
Beneath my hand, your senses drown,
In a tomb within yourself, you are now bound.
No sight, no sound, no breath to taste—
The world you knew is now erased.

(Haiku 2)
Sightless, voiceless, lost,
Stone breath whispers memories—
Fear blooms in the dark.

(Verse 2)
You trust your eyes, your ears, your narrow domain—
But the real world is not so mundane.
The music in the stones, the breath of trees—
That is how I know what you see.
The air will never lie to me,
The rain blankets both the proud and meek,
The earth remembers every move made,
The wood warns with each twig you break.

(Chorus)
Beneath my hand, your senses drown,
In a tomb within yourself, you are now bound.
No sight, no sound, no breath to taste—
The world you knew is now erased.

(Haiku 3)
No more breath or cry—
Earth drinks silence, skin turns stone,
Memory drifts down.

(Bridge)
No sight, no sound, no scent remains,
A soul unmoored—adrift in empty space.
The elements remember what flesh forgets,
This void need not be unkind if you listen for the world’s breath.
But to you, this is silence, the darkness of forgotten stone,
Your senses surrendered, your idols overthrown.
Through failing flesh and fading light,
Your false world dissolves as your spirit cries.

(Final Chorus)
Beneath my hand, your senses drown,
Into lightless depths, be dragged down.
No sight, no sound, only yourself to face—
Only your thoughts will inhabit that empty place.

(Final Haiku)
Blind earth swallows breath,
Fingers claw at memory—
Nothing left but stone.

(Outro)
Air warns with a touch that chills the skin,
Earth groans low beneath your weight,
Fire licks with tongues of distant heat,
Wood sings faint in unseen roots,
Water still ripples as the tides withdraw—
They still speak—but not to you.
No ears remain to hear,
No eyes to see,
No tongue to taste the rain.
You are a stranger to the world.
The elements know the truth—
There’s a hollow where someone once stood.
A memory already crumbling into silence.

(Intro) Air warns with a brush that brings shivers, Earth’s groans send tremors, Fire’s heat contrasts its absence, Wood pulses with life’s presence, Water ripples even as the tides move— But perhaps the languages of the elements are lost to you. I live in the world of the Five Elemental Dragons; they share with me much. You live in a shadow world, defined by the idols of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. (Haiku 1) Fingers press like stone, Airless void consumes the light— The earth swallows all. (Verse 1) With my hand upon your brow, I unmake your world, sky, and ground. No glimpses to warn you, no light to guide, Only void — darkness behind your eyes. I need not strike with sword or spear, As I also seal away the world you hear. No whispers left, no footsteps near, You are alone with only your fear. (Pre-Chorus) Each Dragon has their story, each story a path, Each path a lesson—but lessons ignored invite nature’s wrath.
