SANITY SWEPT AWAY Sanity swept away by a momentous sadness, maniacal melancholy, the purest of passions unsealed I am a mourning statue, knelt in grief stone tears from closed eyes At what is left of my dreams? ONE DAY MY FALL (lyrics copyright Before the Coruscating Apollyon) Aeons run to waste as countless generations stare me in the face So after time, I’m losing count. Yet I know my end approaches with heavy, steady pace. I have survived revindication, conquest and claim, yet will shatter just the same. My beauty was made to endure, my framework gilded with patience Bright were the eyes that shone into me, me who reflected their splendour. So many have revelled at the sight they received, and I was rewarded by their joyous innocence. It makes me smile, but sadly for I know one day, one day I’ll know my fall.
