the glow of life decays 

we darken this domain 

nearer still 

and still descending 

never ending 

as time unwinds 

the inner mind 

in rhyme sublime 

divinity is done for 

witness the sickness 

still within us 

closer still 

still condescending 

unrelenting 

obscure the pure 

with weighted words 

in tongue diverse 

upon our pyre 

of pure fire
