What if
What if light is the enemy
With which darkness is in enmity
And we never know the density
At which they fight for unity
What if we are the cursed
And stuck in this ball in which we were tossed
In a timeless range away from the world
And has forgotten how to fight against the Lords
What if the trees waving in the air
Are signs to us for all to fear
That all human should please beware
Of the dangers that lie beyond the rear
What if we are not humans at all
And the true humans have not been called
To rise from their sleep and make us fall
Away from their world that we have stalled
