Intro

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro Poem written by: David Wolfe "My name is David—David Wolfe— A whisper carved in midnight’s groan; I sip my coffee, weak and soft, One creamer pale, seven sugars sown. Yet sweetness cannot soothe the dread That coils nightly ‘round my bed." "For phantoms stalk my waking thought— A father’s death, a silent toll; What shall become of me when wrought Is shadow’s claim upon his soul? A future blank, a hollow tomb, Where daylight dare not pierce the gloom." "Since childhood’s dawn I bled my ink, A poet bound by fate’s design; My voice unheard—but do not think My songs are anything but mine. For After I Remain reveals The truest wound the darkness feels." "You’ve heard the album dressed in night, And Black & White, its spectral twin; But know this work is consequence— The wages of my mortal sin. Recall the song where Leviathan Rose from depths where fears begin." "I spoke of Jonah—biblical brim— Yet mark my words, the truth is grim: For I am Jonah—cast astray, A runaway from Heaven’s sway; And I the fish, the monstrous keep, The gulfs in which my sorrows sleep." "The Leviathan?—my asylum deep, A padded sea of fractured mind; Where I, in strait-jacketed sweep, Am prisoner to my own design. In every verse, in every cry, You hear the storm that brews inside." "This album is my shadowed breast, A chambered heart where ravens feast; Where Poe’s dark candle lights the nest Of all my horrors, all unleashed. Inspired by graves he wandered through, I wander now that path anew." "So who deserves this prison vile, This swirling beast of dread and pain? Who else should walk its haunted aisle And bear its raving, cursed stain? Who else but I—yes, yours truly— Cast upon the waves unruly." "Thus hear my tale in whispered rain: My name is David… After I remain." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Album "Asylum" for download coming soon! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
