Under a black cloud,
Pregnant with lightning,
Lies a ruined temple,
Covered in ancient dust.
Recently, the bell in the temple
Tolled a rusted bronze prayer;
That echoed for moments.
And everyone scattered,
As though heaven itself,
Had broken into pieces.
And now in the modern church of man
There is a trembling blaze of candles;
That seems to indicate that something
Is terribly...terribly amiss.
