Bound
I am standing on a pyre
To face judgment for my unknown crime
As the first flames like from nowhere appear
The frenzied crowd starts to cheer
Fumes burn my lungs, to blackened cysts
As the last passages drop from minister lips
Led from hall of justice
Where unfamiliar man stood as witness
For all the things he swore I've done
I'm walked to gallows pointed by gun
Under my hood, I cry and despair
A sound of thud and there's no body there
I am leaving this world behind
Puzzled but not scared anymore
Can't be worse, what I'll find
Leaving this world behind
One instant, is all that it takes
As my human vessels die and drift away
Responsibilities, along with weight, lifted once again from me
This craving, felt so long, now violently satisfied
As blisses of unexistentiality, surpass limits of earthly pleasure
Lines being drawn in the sand
The horde grasping on sharp rocks in hand
I'm trapped in earth 'til my face
The onslaught starts when the imam hails
Tinnitus, is all I can hear
Just a moment and nothing left to fear
Leaving this world behind
Puzzled but not scared anymore
Can't be worse, what I'll find
Leaving this world behind
