Don't Ask Me Why

I walk where the moonlight turns to ash, Where every shadow wears a face I know. The wind repeats the words I cannot speak, And time itself begins to bleed so slow. Silentium. Let the darkness speak. Don't ask me how I found this road. It chose me long before I took a breath. I've crossed the line between what's real and what's Foretold. Now I'm bound to this unholy path. Ignis aeternus, consume my soul. We are the echoes carved in ancient stone. Voices lost before the world was born. Let the silence take what once was mine alone. In this temple, I was never sworn. Voces perditae... In umbra loquuntur. They told me to forget the sacred signs. To bury every rite beneath the sand. But I can hear the dead still singing in The mines. Their hymns are written on my hands. Sacrum mysterium... Non obliviscar. Don't ask me why I cannot turn away. This curse is now the only truth I own. I gave my voice to the night and it Took everything I say. Now I stand where I was never meant to Roam. Tenebrae meum vestimentum. We are the echoes carved in ancient stone. Voices lost before the world was born. Let the silence take what once was mine alone. In this temple, I was never sworn. Voces perditae... In umbra loquuntur. No prayer can wash the stain from what I've Done. No light can touch the place I've come to Be. Whisper my name beneath the dying sun. We'll build our altar in the darkest sea. Lux in tenebris... Nomen meum sussurrat. Beneath the cold stone. In a language. Older than time. We are bound. Aeternum. In umbra. Vinculum nostrum.
