Deep green walls lined with Darjeeling Gold And red carpets flow through dimly lit corridors Like a river of blood, feeding an ancient forest While its canopy dances to the fury of lightning For there stands the stronghold of one man Grown out of immaculate stone A colossus tearing at his chains His feet, never escaping the dirt from which he had spawn The ruler of this lore had risen from the deepest pit A hole that devoured even the purest ray of light Down in this abyss, he forgot of the sun Only hearing the faint aviary agitations of dawn Echoing through impassive tunnels He incessantly pounded the coal clothed rocks As a sculptor chisels a block of marble in search of a forsaken goddess His hands always smelt of burnt iron And the glimmer in his eyes resembled Two white isles in an ocean of darkness Two white flames fueled by a vision In which the prize sought would illuminate the crooked galleries of his own heart One sacred night, his battered pickaxe struck the vein and bestowed glory onto him Judging himself worthy of the light, he crawled out towards the moonglow Nearing the opening, he passed his ghost staring back into the void Just as he had done on the day of his arrival A testament to the soul which had been consumed by these hellish bowels A beacon which he did not grasp He erected a shrine in honor of his achievement To impress his prowess onto others and himself But when the twilight winds embraced the castle walls Their chant was gelid and hollow Many a time the ochre colors of summer fields climbed into the trees And now he sits awaiting death In a temple which ineptly atones for the gash he dug into the bark of the earth Cradled by the putrefied flesh of a deceitful Venus He withers in memories of the true wilderness Which had run strong in his chest The one true love he lost Eclipsed by the shadows of his pursuits As he walked across a valley of primeval pillars Supporting nothing but thin air
