by Nick Gisburne
In search of what your fear refused to teach
I look beyond the memories I lack
Beneath a bright veneer, within my reach
Are unfamiliar shades of grey and black
The Other, veiled in secrets, on a whim
His name denied the chance to cross my tongue
A sign, a hint, a whispered pseudonym
But legends from his life are never sung
Together you will pay for what I know
The truth you worked so carefully to hide
Awakened from oblivion below
He follows me across the dark divide
The ghost, the god, the Other you deny
Returns to teach the timid how to die
