The Man In the Crystal Coffin

Laying in your crystal coffin I look at your eyes Eyes that died ages ago What could you have seen in your life? Were you a king? Worshipped as a god Honored with gold and jewels Were you a slave? Beaten and tortured your entire life Worked to death in the name of your god Were you a farmer? Raising food in a desert Trying to farm in acres of sand Did you have enough to thrive? Were you a merchant? Selling oils and herbs Or did you sell women for the pleasure of others? I look into your eyes trying to see your soul But there is nothing to see So I can only imagine I can only ask Who was this man in the crystal coffin?
