Aberration

Only fires burning bright,

will glimmer in the dim of night.

On the edge of the forest where the river is red,

where faith and reason both are dead.

In ecstasy the invalids run astray,

into the circles where the shadows play.

Of silhouettes dancing in the earthly mist,

raving naked with sanity dismissed.

Running wild in ceremonial haze,

with eyes made of ***** and hearts of clay.

 

Their lonely fires burning bright,

cast smoke rings off into the night.

Whilst the ancient forest is oblivious to their undertakings.

And watches the smoke pass out of sight.
