Begone

In shadowed halls where silence deep The soothsayer walks where shadows creep He seeks the dream ere progress sleep Yet finds the chains that make him weep Begone, begone, thou gilded lie The castle falls beneath the sky No more the dream of days long fled Begone, begone, the past is dead The runes upon the ancient wall Do speak of realms where heroes call But in the torchlight’s flickering fall The new age claims what once was all Begone, begone, thou phantom claim The dragon stirs in shadowed flame No sword of old can break the chain Begone, begone, we start again Psychedelic mists in ancient veins Math of fate in measured chains Faint melodies from ages past Dissolve like dew when morning’s cast Begone, begone, illusion deep The sentinel now yields to sleep The soothsayer kneels in silent prayer "Begone, begone, and leave me there" Begone, begone, and leave me there
