I saw the future unfold
The darkness that swallowed us whole
You couldn't find your own pain
I found it again and again
We dared not face our enemy
How could we possibly?
And time flows, foggy-white
Bells ringing out in the night
There are ghosts in the hall
Figures dimly recalled
I still see the shapes echoing
I see their grinding and creaking
I stay up late and think heavy things
It has been snowing steadily
Bright caps and blankets of hiss
Moments once buried in mists
Burst like stars upon my memory
