Liturgia

Where saints did sing  
And angels sighed
Now shadows cling
Where light has died

Once, walls of gold  
And domes of flame  
Held prayers untold
In Heaven’s name

But silent now  
These arches weep
In solemn vow
In hollowed sleep

The Theotokos
In sorrow’s grace
Her gaze bestows  
Upon this place

O voices lost
Return once more
Bring back the cost  
Of faith and lore

For I would rise
In hymn and light
To pierce the skies
And end this night
