I rise only to suffer
I fall swiftly to my death
I land on my shattered ankles
And I can finally catch my breath
Because I'm running out of time
I'm roaming through the trenches
I bathe in the ancient ruins
And swing from the weakening branches
I plant the seed of resurrection
Wait the eternal bane
I seek internal affirmation
But swim in my tattered blame
Unhindered wonder sheds it's skin
And slithers out from my throat
I spark my final flame
But it's extinguished with my hope
The moon shouts it's loud psalms
Bringing light like Prometheus
I can't make out the words
But I'm crying out for new pieces
The sky is damned with mist
The sun can only blind
I can't see the plagued salvation
All is clouded by mind
