GATES

A broken lover seeks to help others and finds a mysterious order with divine knowledge and just one rule, "Don't break the dogma". But when he realises he can use it to bring her back, his will is tested.

When you read the forever corpus

You were ready to take the shrine

Willing to serve a new purpose

Having lost a lover to time

You wanted in life the greater good

So others could have what you did not

But then nothing really ever stood

To stop you from the fires you wrought

I had never doubted your intentions

Always seeing the kind in you

I now wish you followed abstention

Being one of the chosen few

You wished to seek greater knowledge

Hoping it would serve you well

But never once did you ever acknowledge

That you had your purpose defined in hell

You failed the dogma in countless ways

Having given your will to pain

Never was hell's fire so ablaze

When your lover reached mortal domain

It was a fatal mistake

And you too, had soon realised

What you did opened the gates

And why the dogma was forever advised

You managed to undo the agony you brought

Decimating the entire order thereby

Peace shattered and the elders fraught

Only if you had once complied!

The world was turned to stage of her circus

The order's gone, but the clock still chimes

For you now yearn for a new purpose

Long lost to the trials of time
