THE ENDLESS, THE END



THE ENDLESS, THE END

This is the endless and the end,
The children of Night and Time,
The end from the beginning,
And the beginning from the end.

Destiny says "what will be will be",
But I cannot change what will be,
just like a mother showing a son many paths,
And letting her son choose which to follow.

Death says "I'll be there before your birth",
And "I'll be with you after your death",
"I am the strongest amongst my siblings",
For I am the end of all things and the beginning of all endings.

Dream says "I make all things flourish"
And also I make all things diminish,
In the dreaming and in the waking world,
And my nightmares to help change the world.

Destruction says "I'm a weapon ever made",
A weapon to fight For good and Evil,
Just as a gun is used for the act of crime,
So could it be used for fighting crime.

Desire says "I'm the beauty of fire and ice"
The beauty in love, affection and ties,
Despair says "i am the absence of hope",
I am pain and sadness, I end lives with a rope.

Delirium Says "I was once filled with delight",
But now I makes things illusional in all sight,
I can make one see beyond and also as blur,
For we the endless opens and closes all doors.

These forces serves humanity,
And these forces ends humanity,
They regulate the cycle of life,
And they give essence to life.

The endless,
The beginning and the end of all thing.
