beneath the empty starless night

with only the moon to guide me

across the cold and vast expanse

did I explore the skies, the lands,

whose reaches stretch far by me

into deserted, shifting sands

with only my arms beside me

into the cold and vast expanse

did I explore the lands, the seas,

with only the moon to guide me

an obelisk built high in stone

whose purpose that did bely me

i found untouched, unseen, unknown

did I explore the depths below

the endless stair which waits below

into the empty maze below

with only my lamp to guide me

into the endless catacombs

with stones and dirt to sky me

one hundred miles far below

did i explore the cave, alone

with emptiness beside me

i stumble through the endless maze

with darkness now beside me

and listen for a single sound

from which to find my way around

and use to truly guide me

lost deep within the endless maze

i see a matchlight flutter

a spark of life in an empty grave

the stars perhaps? which I might save?

one thousands miles under

i find a torch upon the ground

whose light does dim and die.

in company with only sound

i feel my way around, around

who lit the torch? i wonder, now

one thousand miles underground

beneath the empty, starless sky

which i am buried under
