I am of the old ways
The ways of days gone
pasts lost in the mists
so long ago

I am outdated
beyond the old
beyond the dead
yet their creed is mine

A hope for the futures
we will see
Just a dream
of what could be

A sanctum in time
Of the best
of what is gone
and will come again

Join me outside
of this time
in this place
where hope has died

Join me in hope
in a unity
created in love
drowned in loneliness

For i am not alone
while love is in the world

The very deep did rot: O Christ!
That ever this should be!
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.
