Burning flesh, does it frighten you?
Nihilistic verses, do they set you aflame?

Tell me
When you sealed your eyes
What was to be the outcome?

When the thread hid the crevices
And the smiles masked the sea
Did you not see the disease spread?

Do not sing in front of the roses
You've failed to pierce the darkness;
You didnt even attempt

When fate seals the deal
And True Love gives the Eternal Kiss
Remember the burning flesh,
The nihilistic verses ,
Remember the stitches,
The disease you ignored

Oh won't you save the dying star
Twinkling weakly
The light begins to fade

Is God displeased?
How is silver less than gold?

A falling angel from the heavens
Is the star meant to be forsaken?
For its inability should it be forgotten?

When at Earth it smashes
Who is to blame?
God?
The Earth for its natural gravity?
Or the failed beacon for falling?

Should the mighty Oak fall
Sound would not sing its demise
Into the abyss would it fall to never be claimed

Such deep powerful roots
Kept within the dark soil
Safe from reality
Hidden from the mystery yet held within the light

Of withered leaves, crumbling branches
What will become of the roots
Will they thrive within ignorance
Should they choose salvation through it

When the tragedy at last gives up
Will all the chains be severed?
Should the roots ever see sunlight
Will they dry up
Will they die off

If the faux oak ever falls
The roots will dissipate
Fooled and ignorant
The light never touched them
Toxins never entered their system
Alas they bid farewell to the mighty Oak

Marveled as a rare beauty
The black pearl shines upon the heavens
A celestial body of his own construct
Marvel at the resonance of sorrow

Did he rise through the seas to reach the mighty heavens?
Did he escape the darkness of the deep?
How did such beauty mark the realm of gods?

A twinkling contradiction up on the vast unknown
A black pearl shining through the calm oceans of solitude
Kneel before the majesty of uncharted heavens branded

Truth be told however,
He never rose from the deep, never departed from the burning waters beneath
This celestial body didn't brand the land of dreams

Such deep woes are the tears he creates as he looms ever closer
Falling upon the earth and land of man
This beauty is burning bright into collision

Marvel not at the enthralling light
But at the flame that dares defy the gods
Behold the black pearl that denounces immortality
The black pearl that accepts reality
Regard not that which could be,
But that which is
Witness the Falling Star
