The monsters were hiding
And lying in wait for me.
All teeth and saliva
I felt their breath on my feet.
But when I grew older
I came to realise
That houses aren't haunted
Just unoccupied
The memory of a ritual
The more I learn the less I know.
The stars above me
Like apertures of light
They seem to perforate
The Cimmerian night.
And as I grow older
My shroud of arrogance falls
All of my convictions
Become nothing at all.
The memory of a ritual
The more I learn the less I know.
