It takes more than just words
to stop the tides of change
it'll take more than your no's
to overcome the I am's of Life

It takes more than your Darkness
to drown out the Soul's Radiance
It'll take more than time
to puzzle out the secrets of eternity

It will take more than your schemes
to stop the soul that will awaken
it will take more than your evil
to corrupt the heart that is within him

It will take more than your twisted will
to avert the Rebirth that is upon you
It will take more than the darkness that follows
To extinguish the Light you will become

I am here
behind the held-fast door
waiting to be rediscovered

I am you, as you wil be
when your soul resonates
with dreams newly grasped

I am everything that you
reach for, proud of every step
you've taken on the way

I am here smiling
as you release yourself
from the chains that
once bound you

Surrounded
all sides closing in
the sky falls from
above, the shadows
grasp from below

struck down
or, at least that's
what they thought,
your coming back.

with the force of the soul
a part of you now
never give up, not even death
can stand in your way

the ground may split
the sky may fall
but you rise from the ashes
even as the fire consumes you

they'll fall and
you'll close the earth
they'll be fallen as
you fix the sundered sky

they'll fall forever
while you rise up
eternally

when the hammer of the gods strikes upon the earth
and the echoes in mortal souls ring true
then shall old dreams be re-awoken
sparks long extinguished granted new life
as hopes once lost now shine in the heavens
waiting to be grasped once more

No longer connected to the ground
the ultimate ascension is triggered
eyes open as time slows, the feeling
of eternity coalescing.

No longer obstructed from my condition
everything is revealed,
turning all sight upon itself
subsumed in the realization of being

the bridge manifests, and the two shores appear
now at the brink of what joins man and the divine
the convergence of every challenge and disillusion
spurs me beyond the very state of grace

I step upon the bridge,
exhaling one last breath
before air turns into light
as before me the world vanishes

eyes open as the currents bend before me
I look upon the world with perspective
never before imagined. I reach out to touch them
and so, in the hand of God, eternity Coalesces.

walking down the windless stair
into the murky depths of night
I do not know what lurks in there
but in my heart I know the Light

It guides me through this empty place
filled with the darkness of my fears
along a path that leaves no trace
and the minutes pass like years

without a doubt these shadows break
upon my bright and burning soul
and step by step I choose to take
and through the Light becoming whole

A Twilight stroll through ancient gates
walled by will controlled by fates
a path to worlds strange and new
seen only by a chosen few

Aether pathways now lie open
gates once guarded now lie broken
pieces scattered on the ground
soon the lost shall all be found

corrupted portals that once were guarded
ancient guardians now are martyred
Growing darkness now arise!
Poison all beneath the skies!

dark defenses now awaken
and the light shall be forsaken
all the world rife for taking,
By the darkness now awaking!
