Tekel

Yesterday there was light, a path so clear, The wind carried dreams from afar, sincere, But a blackened gale rose, the sky turned grim, And the worlds we knew were torn limb from limb. Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin Now only screams and smoke fill the void, They break inside, debris souls destroyed, Through shattered cracks the dark fumes crawl, The final watcher still guards your wall. Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin They creep in silence, no knock, no denial, “You are no one, just dust at my trial” In mirrors now, a strange beast beholds, A twisted fire in the dark unfolds. Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin Now dust on lips, the self is undone, They took all I thought I had become, An echo remains in hollowed eyes, But while you live - your world survives. Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin
