Each water drops Marks the passing Of a mind strengthened By the knowledge Of Death If we were not born To die Life would Not be life The air would Not taste as sweet The water As cool The changing of seasons As glorious Who put me here? Who controls these Thoughts within My brain? Who am I in the world? Who am I to the streets With her battered ***** covered Cobble stones? Shattered bottles Lining the seams of her brazier... Now that sight Has shackled me With their vices And my body grows Weaker as time passes I show signs of an age I feel has passed me by The stinking dead were Once frightfully alive I see their faces In their gravestones A reflection that one day Will be All to Familiar

Gravestone Familiarity
Each water drops Marks the passing Of a mind strengthened By the knowledge Of Death If we were not born To die Life would Not be life The air would Not taste as sweet The water As cool The changing of seasons As glorious Who put me here? Who controls these Thoughts within My brain? Who am I in the world? Who am I to the streets With her battered ***** covered Cobble stones? Shattered bottles Lining the seams of her brazier... Now that sight Has shackled me With their vices And my body grows Weaker as time passes I show signs of an age I feel has passed me by The stinking dead were Once frightfully alive I see their faces In their gravestones A reflection that one day Will be All to Familiar
