Silence Silence everywhere A world of myst and trees A world of no one, nothing, not a solitary dream A creature walked before me Itβs skin as grey as stone A creature of no gender A creature of no home It was naked as the night was cold Veiled by an inverse wing Not metallic nor of feather A transcendental ethereal thing I asked it all my questions And it spoke not a word I asked it for redemption And i heard just the sound of birds It took me by the hand in silence Warped me in its wing I finally saw the truth of all As the Albatross did scream It was no messiah No god with beard of white Just protection of the watcher The Albion in the night
