Flames scorch the horizon
As I crawl towards the shore
A thousand lives I’ve endured
And more
See now, the sky’s afire
Ash falls, extinguishes
Sun light, eyes blinded by
Midnight, the absence of timeBehind there are only ghosts
Ahead islands of doubt
Against this tide there is only submission
The anchor pulls me down
See now, the sky’s afire
Ash falls, extinguishes
Sun light, eyes blinded by
Midnight, the absence of timeAeons pass in the blackness
Pelagic void of vitalityYet the will gathers slowly to becomeSeconds scrape by like a glacier
Silence chimes the hour of infinityThis shroud and sinew, rotting forever
Flesh to dust, to depths, to nothingnessYet the will gathers slowly to becomeIn twisting fathoms, the self holds together
In depths of memory, resolve grinds against timeAnd when the blaze has long gone cold
And surging waves are quelled
To form surface, crystalline
Mirror of a sanguine sky
I live again
