blessed be

 
the darkness has a voice
a thousand thundering thoughts
a communal pool of knowledge

it utters wisdom in form of riddles
if you don't know the code you won't get in
tricksters of the way will lead you astray

I stand on the cornerstone of belief and enter
it is with a solemn vow on my lips I speak
in the dark there are passages
great tomes of truth
wield properly I can accomplish anything

I seek the keeper of visions
to scry the future for me
I watch my step in his presence
he is keen on my energy
and circumspect on my religion

I know the spells
I have sworn off black magic
but it is being used against me

I ask what is the penalty on my soul
if I execute what I know
he considers me for awhile picking up on my intent
and answers you are pure of power please proceed

I promise to practice the great arts with reverence
inside the darkness secrets are kept sacred
those of the way glance at me solemnly

I will do no harm
may the balance be kept

blesse be
