The Silence of Provenance

Gods lay buried in this damp soil

Old bones protrude the green

In shallow graves they’re doomed to reside

Weak fainting shadows

With grinding teeth 

Asleep until their sun forever sets

And steals away their names

Never to be spoken

Aeons to end in silence

In godless empty veils

The echelon of fallen

Adrift without a land

Enter darkness, enter silence

Transcend into the night

Eclipsed by lies bespoken

New pantheons will climb into the light 

Mere echoes remain between them

Sails hang on windless seas

Beggars to serve their creed

Their sinking worlds

Tearless the fallen

No prayer can dispell

The curse of being left unsung, unpraised

And unloved

Transcend into the night

In shallow graves they’re doomed to reside

Until their sun forever sets and dies

Never to be heard

Chorus

Into the light
