Doctrine of Last Things

de Nile

The unknowable
That which lies beyond the sight of humankind
A promise of the transmigration of souls
A chance to live again

Reincarnate
Incarnate

We have always feared
The immutable cycles of birth and death
The dead never return to tell us
If we indeed live again

Lok-Nar!

Yet sometimes the dead return
Appearing to us in dreams
But they never speak
Of what they have seen

All die
The dead do not return

Lok-Nar!

It is a mercy
That we are ignorant of the horrors that await us all
All die
The dead do not return
In truth

We know not if our priests lie to us
We ourselves cannot read the texts
The words of truth are closed to us
The cults of Ra and Osiris are in opposition
Contradiction and confusion is what they sell us
All die the dead do not return
