The Harrowing Rhythm part II: The Man Without
By The Silent Pendulum
Inside and behind this fast aging door,
That timeless hands have fashioned,
Standing so still and so dead
The Man Without waits
As
worlds beyond his threshold meet
And flow as the rivers to the sea
His eyes shine cold and out to the world
That forsake him and those
who lived to the pulse of the Rhythm
He wishes upon the fallen
stars igniting the darkened sky
To be returned once more to the golden
shores
To a place where once he named home
This Man Without
is a common rare
Their earth-shattered skeletons followed suit
To the once pulsing Rhythm now silent
He too is now quiet,
as the Phantoms would dare
Yet between his death and mortal life
He proposes the Riddle of Why
He is as us,
A Soul Without
