There writ in ancient sanscrit text The answer plain to what lays next, The answer writ in common tongue So aged could understand with young, A secret held within the grasp Of Kings and Prince of Priests of past, A secret hidden to confound All humankind from fact profound To keep it locked, withheld secure By gloating greed with goal impure.
Bound in parchment yellow gold And tied with thong of leather old, Letters writ in feeble blend So frail that few could comprehend, A revelation wrought so hard That weak might well slice wrist with shard. I charge thee all take hold within To gird thyself for message grim........
"Beyond the end there lies a void A pitch black nothingness employed In silence, nay beyond all sound With deathly stillness all around. Nothing felt and nothing seen No sense of good or rank obscene. Not up nor down, no smile nor frown. There's no tomorrow in the air No brilliant light or horn fanfare The men in pulpits sold a lie For at the end we merely...DIE!"
