Fate of Man: Words from above

The curse of Cassandra is back. However this time it's arrow is striking a man, who was able to communicate with creatures from another world, whom have learned the fate of mankind.

At the ethereal borders of dawn

Where realms and presences collide

A message is sent in an aerial dream

Words from an empire among the veils

Of fire and divine beams

Kings of the hidden spheres

Spoke to the wisest of fools

Words from dying elders

Who once sat among the stars

Harking the speech of angels

Before the creation of man.

"In a thousand aeon and moon

A son of dust shall rise

Two faces he shall bear;

wisdom and destruction

His descendants as he was

Would bring the doom of all

Like the universe and constellations

Had witnessed once before

In their time of ultimate lore

They shall forget the grand master

And in return they shall be forsaken

And their deeds shall bring fire

Upon the merciful spheres

In conflict and in greed

Their rich will scourge the earth

Releasing an iced spirit of death

Angels of the mighty north shall die

And their grace will cease to breathe

Equilibrium lost in waves

That sweeps the land clean

And a freezing dawn shall rise

Cleansing the sphere once again

Beware of their rising towers

And their brutal battle of tribes

For their ego shall build the gallows

Of their own sons and daughters

For years to come the land will grow silent

As new life hatches from nothing

And in silent graves of nature

Springs life to turn the wheel."

Thus spake the spirit of the old

Breathing burdens of mountain's weight

Upon the wisest of fools

Devastated and broken he wanders

Living Cassandra's nightmare.

the truth was not released to the mountains 'cause they would have perished under its weight. only man bore the truth, but man is what you describe him, "In conflict and in greed". so the truth is lost but to a wise few.

I love it! You penned it nicely. I find it beautiful and a bit mysterious.
