Prisoner to this bleak duty
Chip away at its gnarled beauty
Mountain gone and leveled away
Lost to time in timeless decay
Disheveled man, older than time
Presents himself, one of a kind
His words strike me, words I now dread
Allow me to tell what he said
"This was just the first second of
Eternity, and the next will
Set you free from all mortal pains.
Your passions will disintegrate "
