DARKNESS

Left alone

In the left side

The left will see

What is left

Only the left ones

Will be left

And they will see

Who is not left

The left mark

Will set us free

From the chains

Of the right hand

A senseless world

Marked by an abyss

Of living illusions

Of the right

The left

Are people

Forgotten

They struggle

To live

With meaning

Yet hopelessly

Dreaming

The left

Are indefinite

Yet infinite

Within limit

Knowledge

Makes them think

Makes them understand

But not speak

They are shadowed

Without direction

To make them move

And they are

Waiting for a chance

That chances might shed

Paths for

The left ones

Bound to this

Spiraling hope

To unite

They who know

But do not move

For us to break

With all the left power

To be free

The snake

Has bitten its tail:

Will you change this

Horror within me?

The dreadful memory

Of regretful curses

Pains and tortures

Like war and bloodshed?

How is it

That you combine

The black of your shadows

With the destiny of ruining

My world?

You do not act

You do not act

You do not act

Fate speaks:

The crystal

Will meet

The black

And the white

Together will

They create

His forever
