The Revenant
Awake the child that ached for years
The frightened man, ashamed of fear
I hold too tightly to this place
The reverence that lead to waste
Silent virtue comes undone
The burning pain, and dying sun
I can’t recall what I did want
And all that’s left is dead and gone
Innocence was spent on pain
My mind was twisted; left insane
The heart that tried to rise above
Was left alone because it never could
Depth and silence masquerade
The embodiment of all I say
My shadow crawling closer now
As I begin to question how
The misery that took my breath
Refracts itself until my death
This mirror world that will not break
Reflects to me all of my mistakes
Awake the ice that I’ve become
This destiny has overrun
The fallen centuries that I’ve felt
And all the heartache I have dealt
The vision of a child is gone
The fearful man has come upon
The image of a dying world
What’s left behind – no longer held
