I watched in silence, and from afar, as the new lighthouse was being built
I watched as the foundations were laid
I watched as the men, women, and creatures built that damnable tower
I watched them as they built up the first walls, then reinforced them against time itself
I saw a weakness where others could not
I watched as the sleek new tower rose from the ground
I watched as it was completed, the new light giving hope to those you need
I watched in silence, and from afar, as the new lighthouse was torn down by myself
The sleek new tower falling as easily as the original
I watched in silence, and from afar, as the process was repeated
A new tower, an old source of hope
No tower shall exist in the place of the original
For there shall be no hope in this dark corner
I continued to watch in silence, as another tower was constructed...
