Ash & Elm

Enter Existence

Ash & Elm


The second hand stays still
And waits for me until
The duty to act, to try and succeed
Fills me with hope, the lie that I need
The wind it blows my way
There's nothing here today
To set my mind off of its course
To put me astray
As I Enter Existence

I left my loves behind
In hopes that I would find
The substance, from which I was made
But filled my void
With failure and hate
I found what I had sought
Was not what I had thought
It would be, a ba'al of gold
An image of me, unhappy and old

My mind strives, to understand
Why I lied
To those who joined me

Nothing has strayed me from
My true course
I had to try
I had to die
To realize my fate
My service to mankind
Has killed a part of my soul
I swallow my hopes
Embrace my fears
Since pain, is all that I know
