Description
1776

Built `pon stone of idol Reason:
Build `pon sand for stone falls deeper:
Faith deceives its maker blind.
Now they laugh, sing Odes to Joy;
and summon `pon them
their Reason’s Reaper.

Enchantment Illumination
has enthralled my feeble mind:
But as a New World departs
for the shores of Utopia
I cannot help but stay motionless behind.

Bound by these visions of a cataclysmic downfall
torn am I asunder as this contrast I behold:

Ethel Seraphs resurrected
by a leprous hidden faith
in darkness bound
lie vengeful yearning
for that day
when Reason craves
Redemption from her rapture cruel

Broken wings adorned by razors
Shards of ice where eyes bejewelled
a face sublime, now scathedistorted
Hate burns deep
and Hate burns sweet
when starved of Love
one longs for warmth…..
…the touch of a child - long sith aborted

Gleaming swords they raise towards us
- blades we forged in Justice’s Name -
transcending spheres pure Light of Logic –

Cause and Effect - their gilded commandment
Fraud and Defect – just a waning enchantment

- laughing and singing ‘wards their fate catastrophic
In the Name of Reason
for the Sake of Mankind
In the Name of Benevolence
for the Sake of the Blind
In the Name of Forlornness
for the Sake of Man’s Pride

In Darkness we dream of Life and of Living
In the Name of this Dream - :
has made us what we are
but raping these dreams
we violate our own conscious
within it create
an Enemy unseen -

- for the shores of Utopia
for the Glory of Name
on the eternal quest for
a new dream to blame.
