Alghazanth

Forsaking The Yoke

Alghazanth


Burdened with no regret 
caged not by hesitation 
the time of departure is set 
with eternity's invitation 

Come death - the liberation 
free me from each earthly boundary 
to reach the higher destination 
where shape is no longer a necessity 

Arise death - the unresting stream 
wash me clean from the filth of old 
to allow my spirit to breathe 
far away from its tenacious hold 

Mourn not when this body dies 
after all, flesh is the yoke we all despise 

I discard the shell to unmask myself 
ascending back from where I fell 

An early sundown at my shrine 
a leap into darkness from the greyness of life 
in vain are the tries to redeem my soul 
for this son of Satan is marching home 

Could not grasp the skies 
when this flesh held me down 
now that my time is ripe 
fire shall become my crown
