Deep into the darkness peering
Long I stood there fearing
Dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before...

But the silence was unbroken
And the stillness gave no token
And the only word there spoken

Was the whispered word: "Veritas"
This the dark whispered
And an echo murmured back the word

Merely this and nothing more!

Fools and faith conspire

Questions of desire
That they never owned before
Kings without their armour

Men without their honour
We all slip into oblivion


We are the dark inside the night
The ghosts about which the poets write
And the dreams that night's embrace

That slowly leave without a trace...

O, suflet sparge-odata, ingusta-ti inchisoare

Si scutura-te-odata de-acest lut pamintesc!
Vreau sa m-agat de tine, spre cer navala dind
Cum viermii de-un cadavru s-agata misunind!


English translation of last verse:
O, soul, break away from your tiny cage

And shake off your body of clay
I want to cling on to you, rushing towards heavens
As maggots cling on to a dead body, creeping!!!
