The Oracle

Sunshinefalling

They are back again.

In my head.

I hear them.

They call to me.

 

Always lurking in the shadows.

The thrilling dream.

 

They wait outside the door.

 

I take a hit.

 

They are louder than ever.

 

They command me.

 

Everyone commands me.

 

For it is alone,

 

within my head,

 

it all resides.

 

Captured by both gods and men.

 

I must answer the knocking at the doors.

 

I inhale the future and push myself towards rapture.

 

I am forced to see gods that are not my own.

 

I see it.

 

I live it.

 

The downfall.

 

The curse.

 

The languages of forgotten gods.

 

I am captured here.

 

Something much bigger speaks to me.

 

But I am trapped by man,

 

in a small world that is nothing more than a cave.
