Essence shrouded in darkness
An earth destined in passing
Figures contained in eternal suspension
Never to be told all was living no more
For so long it could not be kept
The value of life and what is inherent of respect
For so long unreal angels cried
I was meant to be more than you, honor lied
Ascension will lead to the death of my kin
And there stood the devil from whence man began
Essence shrouded in darkness
An earth destined in passing
Figures contained in eternal suspension
Never to be told all was living no more
Through the flames do I hold onto feeble livelihood
To be with you in the end after life misconstrued
All of man’s history is a tragic rhapsody
Chronicles explaining a predetermined destiny
Burned in my mind is the image of those who died
Shaping the strut of a people conceded and belied
Essence shrouded in darkness
An earth destined in passing
Figures animated in eternal suspension
Never to be told all was living no more
Having seen the world through hazy eyes
Perception existing in denial and lies
Death passes to the self eternal
Marveling at the dimming light within man
