In a Glass Darkly

In a Glass Darkly is a collection of five stories by Sheridan Le Fanu, first published in 1872, the year before his death. The second and third stories are revised versions of previously published stories. The first three stories are short stories, and the fourth and fifth are long enough to be called novellas (the fourth is over 44,500 words long, and the fifth is over 27,500 words long). The title is taken from 1 Corinthians 13:12, a deliberate misquotation of the passage which describes humanity as perceiving the world "through a glass darkly". more »

The actual power sits behind the power 
That rules our destiny
Reptile souls feed on mankind's suffering
And dress in human skin

Cold blood spills blood with bigotry and war
While bombs are dropped over damnation soil
Our fate is sealed as it always was
Our freedom is a set up by dictators' law

From those Who come from the unknown

Nations are swallowed by their endless hunger
Yet They're not enough
People are starving while the circus keeps rolling
Indifference is what we are taught

Cold blood spills blood with bigotry and war
While bombs are dropped over damnation soil
Our fate is sealed as it always was...

In silence they reign like lurking crows
With ruling wrath and eyes wide shot
Amongst us they dwell like vanishing ghosts
Suffocating our will, constraining our shouts

Behold the serpent's throne
The reign of the serpent's throne
It's the serpent's throne
