§ Chains of £mbrace §
________________________________________________________
ƒrom pride to remorse, sudden is not this journey
Existence in denial, fools impede on fate’s path
Flair and strength abundant, yet you pay no heed
From hubris to humility, a lifetime lasts this course
A mind of gripping resolve, blinding veil before the eyes
Razing the scent of death, muffled the screams of night
Forever chasing wyrms of knowledge, we thus starve our sanity
Men of shrouded cunning, (one day) bound to crush the fool’s vanity
From contempt to defeat, O’ how effortless this shift
Kneel before truth’s mercy, as powerless heart craves death
For so long savoring triumph, despair stings you with frostbite
From certainty to collapse you see, no more but flashes of lightning
A crusader of illusion’s play, lies rotten in chains of embrace
Aching bones appalled by pain, yet power rises in your stomach
Open gates of rebirth beckon, your humanity starves to death
O’ vile creature of misery behold, time cradles you once again
From mortality, man learns to count his days
When days flow cold as his blood, he becomes immortal
