Words written down so long ago
In a language already gone
From hand of scribe
Down through the pen
And marked into vellum
Cloaked in darkness
The secret remains
Hidden from us for all time
The ravings of a madman
Or learned scholar
We may never know why
Brought forth while in possession
Of knowledge from other realms
Through supernatural process
One may obtain
That which is withheld
The scryer, the seer
Can talk to beings

Who remember the ancient days
When men were more
When they weren't lost
In their mathematical ways
32 gone, 240 remain
Torn out by a dark mage
Who knew of the power
Held within
They are in use to this day
Herbal
Astronomical
Biological
Cosmological
Pharmaceutical
When all combine
Madness of the mind
Destroy all life
And reset time
When all combine
Madness of the mind
Destroy all life
And reset time
