A ringing, a scream, a constant buzzing..
Haunting, penetrating, crawling in my being
You must, you must… calling in my ears
You must you must… cries it, inside my soul
I struggle, I struggle, to extricate it from me
I tug I tug, relentless, it persists
Briefly I throw it away, incessantly it returns
With a larger voice, a greater force, it prevails
I try to shun, I try to shun but it fights to return
Because hearing wasn’t enough,
It begins to show me things I don’t fully comprehend
It shows me the thorns in the way and the seas that are
rough
And then a glimmer that says the thorns I can bend
The seas I can tame even though they are rough
Enormous, enormous the troubles that are here
Venomous, venomous the creatures of lust
Vengeance, vengeance has become a must
Before we avenge, we forget where we began at first
We die, we die a hopeless death
Hope was here, but we mask it with our unflinching rut
Mirrors, mirrors, all around us
Mirrors, mirrors show us the rot we have become
Yet we fail to notice that it is our own reflection that we
see
We fail to see that it is our own doom that we seek
What’s befallen humanity, what’s become of us
Fear, agony, lust, misery and destruction, the inevitable curse
Oh why do we despair, when we created it of our own
If it’s what we wanted, why do we now despair
We emptied our souls of love and filled it with judgement
We killed peace and embraced the endless drama
And now we ask why we lost all smiles and merriment
Look around you now, they flock in panorama
Don’t you see, don’t you see the devil’s gaining strength,
In our veins it’s taking rebirth and spreading its stench
‘He who must not be named’, he-that had long been vanquished
Is returning with greater force, harder it will be this time
to defeat
Don’t you see, it’s using your minds and souls and turning
you to dust
No end you will meet and that it shall see
Unless the blindfolds you remove and the control you discard
“You must, you must!” it rings in my ears again
“You must save us and stop this peril…” it repeats
“the wrong number you’ve got!” I retort
“I ain’t the one with the superpowers,
I suffer as much as they do all,
Weakened by the same plight as is theirs!”
I silence the voice. I silence it finally..
I look around me again, I feel the agony again
The misery, the disaster, the peril, it’s here
The fires burning, the swords are sharpening
Cutting, killing and then again sharpening
I’m watching it all and still being watched, I know
I sense the disappointment, the tears of pain
Why, why is it happening, my soul screams aloud again
Silence, Silence, I hear no more..
I cry, I bury my face in the sand…
Silence, a long silence prevails
At long last, I pull my head out of the sand….
“You must, you must……….” It rings again…
