Chapter 16: Rebuke

One night at Heaven,
in the last few hours of darkness...

One night at Heaven you will hear
distant melodies; ancient chronicles
from the annals of time.

In the last few hours of darkness,
the young face you see
may not seem your own;
you are the shameless tree
of that very seed sown.

One night at Heaven you will hear
evocative music; ghastly recollections
from a shady history.

In the last few hours of darkness,
when you close your eyes
you will see more faces;
the victims of your lies,
a thousand grimaces.

One night at Heaven you will see
Her face! Your final night at Heaven;
the last few hours of darkness.
