The Modern Age
Six hundred and seventy-three steps
closed in the Dance in the Vault.
Over four hundred since Erebus,
the first mortal of our time.
Closed in the Dance of the Vault,
with Landmarks he stands stoic,
the first mortal of our time,
struggling to breathe.
With Landmarks he stands stoic,
an old Sentaari Monk,
struggling to breathe
amid the cosmic trail of Ethian's departure.
An old Sentaari Monk
looking down upon noble Houses,
amid the cosmic trail of Ethian's departure
gasps his last measure.
Looking down upon noble Houses,
his spirit departs this plane,
gasps his last measure,
and somewhere a shaman draws in a breath.
His spirit departs this plane,
releasing itself slowly,
and somewhere a shaman draws in a breath,
an ancient, wise consciousness brushing past.
Releasing itself slowly,
a communion with the departed begins.
An ancient, wise consciousness brushing past
in an even, resounding tempo.
A communion with the departed begins.
Six hundred and seventy-three steps
in an even, resounding tempo.
Over four hundred since Erebus.
