Inside the hall, the phantoms feast on air,On memories of taste and scents of old;The tapestries are woven of despair,In patterns that the weary eye behold.The king is served a wine of liquid night,In chalices carved from a single bone;The shadows dance in the flickering light,And whisper secrets to the heart alone.He eats the bread of silence and of stone,And drinks the draft of deep forgetfulness;He sits upon a cold, obsidian throne,In a kingdom of magnificent distress.The journey has begun, the die is cast,Into the maw of the eternal past.
