Elders

Wisdom of the ages
Turning of lost pages
A voice from nothing
Burnt history so sacred
Nameless faces, a collective
Knowledge in phases
Scrolls written, protected
Antithesis of truth elated
Then down on my knees praising
Truth raising, egos inflated
To my amazement, took ages
Saga passed down, restated
Replacement of knowing is vacant
War on everything, faded statement
This system, nothing basic
Terror for us all, enslavement
Mind bending, acid formed arrangement
Elders praised then jaded
Fed truth but seen as ancient
Messages, found and hated
What was ultimately created
Why bother if wisdom isn't taken
Shared visions not debated
A lake now an abyss draining
Shared sense of energy conflated
I know wise words aren't tainted
Spirits of the dead in graves
Faith and hope aren't related
Nothing from schemes, lies shaded
Lines in the dirt drawn and painted
Energy from eyes dilated
Elders know history is never wasted

Knowledge so sublime
Artifacts left behind
Finding truth in death
A faded soul lost in time
Bathed in energies that rise
Voids and chasms to climb
Pinnacles bright, light shines
Dangerous practices align
In the faintest dawn there is sight
Measures to be defined
Elders, gave us this truth
We squandered it then realized
Real lies known in eyes
In all of us lies some fright
Knowing darkness of the night
Holding on, wishing it could collide
Knowing of knowing not mine
Can't lose my position in line
Throne cast in shadow behind
Messages lost, not my time
Rings of Saturn spin on a dime
Distant points, a callous design
Broken dreams shattered spine
Mesmerising pattern, gifted signs
Heathens breathing on a climb
Voices in the ether survived
Wish for hope from the past
Elders give language to scribe
In deep reaches I'm assigned
Knowing because it was defined
Elders, find hope for us now and forever
Hearing the call, the past is entwined
