A journey through history
Before time out of mind
Sifting through the shadows,
Never knowing what you’ll find.

Searching the trails, listening to tales
Written before writing things down,
Looking for original, authentic and real:
Words of infamous renown.

From before the wars
Up through modern times
Absorb and digest every bit
Of these ancient author-less rhymes.

Together we traverse this life,
Shipwrecks on a stormy sea,
Under the cover of shadowy nights,
Where fallen angels live carefree.
