Pillars of the Sky

When traversing the endless In search for the hidden, glorious heights And the meaning concealed The passage begins without light And the search will estrange you Yearning to learn what's hidden by lore How this journey will change you A first step that's followed by countless of more When bewildered yet lucid Only as lost you can see Towering as you behold them Great distant giants, the ancient creed And this search will estrange you Yearning to learn the wisdom of yore How this journey will change you Up every mountain, along every shore And one day you shall find The pillars of the sky Those that venture through the night How they burn, with purpose and resolve The darkest of the dark, the brightest of bright With glorious flames they ride In a world lost to treason Shapes of the greater, that dared and who died Grand giants overlooking the vast never-ending The pillars of the sky At their feet lie the masses Those like us, who craved to arise As they fell all before them Triumph or death for the pillars of the sky Past the edge of the forest Far beyond the emerald fields Where storms rage unhindered And free Forever they stand The pillars of the sky
