My knowledge comes from the shadow self Unbound by time and opening the way The darkness draws me into the abyss Where eternity awaits beyond Time only has the order we give it The mind reaches across all eternity Though I pa** free of the bounds Memory of the future cannot exist Dreams open the way to the shadow Some barriers can only open at night The starry sky forms an entrance And the shadow radiates from within The black towers hold the key To the melding of heaven and earth The spires are the razor's edge That open the worlds to the shadow The shadow will not be abandoned Even when the stars come right again
