The Unraveling of Arcane Past

Predated by millennia
Of indeterminate conception
Visceral reactions give light to moth-eaten traditions
New encounters tell of stories hidden by time
A greater understanding of this strange world arises
Fabricated from incalculable origin
Decaying visions of a once-thriving people
Extinguished by unfavorable circumstances
Mangled hearts on the hem of desolation
Frozen in continuance
An utter echo of existence
Consigned to oblivion
