Sanctuary Lamp

There's a darkness at the edge of your mind Shadow of gloom and despair Can you keep the dusk from taking you Return the eulogists stare She's a coptic smile A fool who borrows from the dreams Of youth Anointed in Cimmerian shade You're not the object of missionary charity Villainy of faith Wagons that bring bread to humanity Pass by leaving no trace Can only read by Her dying glow Faded long ago
