[hometext] => Written in the dark...wondering what will happen when I die..what it could be like.
[bodytext] => I feel like dying: the one I think I love yields no heart. Lying in the damp mist I cry... Shrieking to the Gods; to them I bare my grief. Take this burden from my soul and enlighten me so that I may rise with thee. Silence is thy reality. Stricken from hope... I plead to thee. Merciless statues have you no compassion?! They show no emotion... I am forbade to enter the sacred realm. Silent screams, tortured beings... For this is my quest, my destiny, my fate. I shalt not beg for the Gods to relinquish my heartache. Alas, I wish upon them one thing...a heart. For if they contained a heart they would know grief, they would know how to suffer... In this land a God is no higher than a peasant. Remembering the wicked earth... I hold the peasant above thee deity... for the peasant knows hardship and torment. The Gods are ignorant to pain and love. What is a heart with no blood...
