Transcending into an eternity
This flame will burn out indefinitely
Like matter scattered across the starry skies
No deity, can deliver us from our grand demise
To become one with the soil
To restore this tree of life
A cosmic understanding of the cycle to survive
This world, a burial ground, a dwelling place for the soul
To dream a dreamer's dream
The fruits of death will soon unfold
Do you fear this expiration?
To sleep eternally, unleashing all your inner demons?
I, believe we are prisoners of the mind
You see?
That perdition resides in all've mankind
These tales of final judgment, to approach the throne and answer for your sins
The weight of the heavy heart is where your trial truly begins
A silent scream unheard by the living ear
Your conscious becomes a poison, questioning what was sincere
Why, would you even mourn this subtle life?
A preservation of fabrication, deformed into strife
It has been said, prayer will enlighten you of all burden and
Unshackle the chains of the servant
A plea within, a final rescue for the abhorrent, delusional
Conjurations of the ignorant
Yes
An unsettling view of the afterlife
I've now brought forth new reason to weep when I die
Reality fades
There is no escape
My lifeless carcass lies in the shadows where no gods can see me
Where I belong to be
Sentenced to question my life of piety
Slipping away
There is no escape
My lifeless carcass lies in the shadows where no gods can see me
Where I belong to be
Sentenced to dwell on my life of tragedy
Wait!
I recognize this emptiness
I've felt it before
Questions now arise on feelings felt when alive
A reasoning, curious, if all I've felt was a lie
Does this mean that my existence is my hell?
No day to day struggle to end, prevail?
A twisted joke of paradise, I've believed an old wives' tale
This realm, a battle ground, yet a purgatory for the soul
You must awaken from this dream
The enigma of death willwill not be foretold
Have you embraced this realization?
To sleep eternally, unleashing all your inner demons?
I, believe, the path I choose will bind
Me into what "damnation" resides in my mind
These tales of final judgment, to approach the throne and answer for your sins
The weight of the heavy heart is where my trial truly begins
A silent scream unheard by the living ear
My conscious is now a prison, sentencing the insincere
To lie within these walls forevermore
In a comfort that I've felt before
If Heaven, hell, and life are the same
Then you hold the fate of this flame
If our essence is truly hollow bliss
Then this, ha, I will not miss
