1. THE UPPER WORLD

Great walls have crumbled
And the sky that used to be blue is pale grey now
The fields of gold have turned to barren soil
The lakes are smaller and more shallow

Higher and higher to a world above
The opposite of Earthly laws
Godly, ungodly
This path is your path
Souls watching
Dying, undying
You might seek but there's no place to rest
And you might leave

In cold sunlight
Climbing finite hights
Out of timeless space
Falling deeper

And I recall only fragments of the past
A thousand years old
Ages and lives in a vortex around
Yet heavenly down

In cold sunlight
Climbing finite heights
Out of timeless space
Falling deeper
