Part 1: The World Awakens to the Sound of Thunder
Status: Completed.
If I were to ask a dozen questions,
Would I find the answer then?
If I were to read a hundred books,
Would I find the answer then?
If I were to walk a thousand paths,
Would I find the answer then?
I have asked a dozen questions,
Read a hundred books, walked a thousand paths.
I still don't have my answer.
Perhaps…
That is my sin?
Part 2: Clouds Obscure the Sky as Cicadas Mourn the Lost Dawn
Status: In Progress.
Dry your eyes.
Even if your family forsakes you,
I will forgive.
Dry your eyes.
Even if your friends forsake you,
I will forgive.
Dry your eyes.
Even if the world forsakes you,
I will forgive.
Dry your eyes.
You have only done
As I desired.
That is your sin.
Part 3: Where Walks the Penitent One, Where Shines the Light From Before, Where Tears are Cast and Hope Discarded For Shame
Status: Coming Next.
Wherever I walk
Dark forms crumble to ash
I cannot escape my sin
Wherever I walk
I see what could have been
I cannot escape my sin
Wherever I walk
Tears sting the endless fires
I cannot escape my sin
Tainted by the paths of war
The Penitent One looks for the Light
And cries in the everlasting Dark
Running from the Light
Cast out from the Dark
Unwanted by the Shadow
The Penitent One is alone at last
Will you offer your hand
As the World burns?
Then that is your sin.
