Silence in the Static Church

Cowering from the dusk
Petrified at the gate
All paths have led here
And yet ye wait

Gazing out from within
On the threshold ye stand
Darkness lies beyond
And nothing more

One last glimpse at the light
Open palms on the door
What is dead is gone
Shalt not return

Gazing in from without
Over threshold ye step
Darkness lies beyond
And nothing more

No kingdom come
Thy will undone
The Earth in ash
Arid Heaven
