Rite - Poema Arcanus

These walls of stone have witnessed

How I’ve learned to praise the sun

Forces once spoke through me

And taught me their sacred song

Silently the stone… remembers… now

Now I’m the outcast in a time of blind spirits

But I feel the earth, I hear the earth

Somber skies fall upon us

Feel this rage… unleashed?

My story won’t be heard by the withered souls that laugh

But I feel the earth, I hear the earth

Speak to me of your beliefs and I will show you my gods

They’ll rule over all, as you ignore… Ignore

My flesh and soul have been tied, with every little part

Something denied by this time, somehow my instincts understand

As one with nature, like a naked child

Longing for his mother’s womb

My lonely rite shall live… as long as I

These walls of stone have witnessed

How I’ve learned to praise the sun

Forces once spoke through me

And taught me their sacred song
