Phantasmal, illusionary Castle
nestled in a valley a magical vessel
Surrounded by special track trestle magical locomotive devoted blessed and confidential
Academy but not the subjects of books
By an author who givesTrans people dirty looks
Some are crooks and scoundrels and famous heros
Fountainhead of ethos at the council of Eos
Herald with an ethereal emerald
felt imperiled in ritual apparell
He knows fear, he doesn’t supplicate
focuses mana and cultivates
The grimoire PAGES flip loud and crisp
Will o wisps fly past a darkened eclipse
The shroud of the veil parts and bestows
An early end for those who broke the code
——————
Hocus Pocus, caution when you dive
Beyond the veil to see what’s inside
You might not return, you might just burn
You may go but the world still turns
(Scratching)

Haunted by the glimpse beyond the pale
Humans are frail, our lives held up to scale
Of the universe we curse at when we fail
Ashes to ashes yet to seek sail
Read the runes, belt out ancient tunes
Feast like raccoons underneath black moons
The dead reanimate, laws of men are broken
praying to Gods with names best left unspoken
The long hand moves closer, the shadows close in
No escape for the ONE WHO WAS chosen
Self immolation calling on greater powers
Selfish, indulgent, callous and dour
No chalice of power, no fountain of youth
Just mankind running from an ugly truth,
The seasons come and go and so do we
Like leaves weaving a trail behind an empty tree
—————————
Hocus Pocus, ephemeral beast
Beauty lies in our temporary feats
Child, weave no webs of deceit,
Child, be blessed with peace
When the dawn breaks light falls
Pitfalls opportunities take flight recall
The rule of three, destiny opens before you
Right and wrong temptation comes towards you
(Scratching)
