Be'lakor - Hidden Window
текст песни

The mountain kept a trove inside,
That was known only to the three -
Closest friends now that their greed
Had burdened them with things to hide.

The entrance was a hidden window -
Punctured through a narrow vein,
To crawl inside as light would wane,
And come to pitch in caves below.

In secrecy, they would converge
To split the rocks and mill to dust,
Revealing spoils within the crust,
From when those peaks had first emerged.

Blurred intent through eyes that stung,
Their fingers cut upon the slate,
While stale air would suffocate,
And sap the vigour from their lungs.

The taper's flame was just enough
To see each pick from fall to rise -
So desperate that they find their prize
Before the wick would finally snuff.

But when one paused to heave a breath,
Their friend's hand would conceal, it seemed,
Which caused a thought had something gleamed?
And trust began to sense its death.

What if he knows that I saw?
And what if he decides to strike?
But what if it was nothing more
Than light's deceit and failing sight?

From just a flicker in the mind,
The thought would twist, consume, then grow,
And with each wave, doubt would erode,
Til all he knew confirmed his bind.

Those ancient paths bore only fear,
That, left unchecked, had overflowed
To shatter balance he had known
As shrinking walls began to near

In pebble's bouncethe avalanche.
In falling dropthe bursting dam.
He gripped the pick, and looming, then
Swung an arc that killed his friend.

He barely saw their third had fled,
As febrile haze evaporated
And with it, certainty faded -
Abandoned now for churning dread.

Endless whispers from the void,
Each offering narration.
He searched the body frantically,
And begged for vindication.
