Into the shadows

His name was Truth

Follow the tune of the raven song

into the shadows you'll find the slumbering

Truth.

Porcelain masks and magic mirrors

there is no hiding from them here.

Yet no words are spoken.

Soundless lips give voiceless answers

Standing,

Looming,

Enraged and vibrating with undeniable

Thunder

A clap of their hands and the masks will fall

the mirrors break.

Every shard revealing a facet

of exactly what you've

become.
