Captive Hereafter

Silence speaks volumes in this world of convictions  
Harmony is seen striving for a forthright resolution  
Waning perspectives light the eternally conferred  
Beyond this holy ground this conscience must travel  
 
When dissension and compromise face off and collide  
To whom must we turn to for our confirmation of doubt?  
Troubled times sink beneath those heavy expectations  
Into an oblivion of uncertainty we forever ride  
 
The sands of infinity cross paths with a dormant dawn  
From which we preserve our soul's ever-present shelter  
 
While an unknown peace flies about circles of serenity,
Majestic temptations ignite ancient whispers of sin  
Sanctuary can sometimes be found across hollow grounds  
 
A toast to a heart's culmination of repressed emotions  
That can't seem to hold a candle to fate's gifted wisdom  
An anthology of creation is backed against revelation  
To whom will we owe our past's gratifying experience?  
 
Does our journey begin in the swamps of revolution?  
For a sincere cause may dwell upon the riffs of lament  
...To a pathetic embrace of winter's chill we comply  
 
Restless ambitions, rest assured, you shall be avenged
