Angel Vaulting, Bowels of Madness

The bowels of madness
Trekked with dark watchful eye
Through terror and agony-
The fever of society unconscious
Vault these cliffs
With steel backed bone
Alone, dangling

Then, as the dawn shown
The most riveting surprise
Rejuvenation through soil
Rushing, penetrate the surface
Of mass hypnosis
You will soar as phoenix-
reborn in the beastly beauty
Sainthood to walk with man

Justin, all of the fears people face are described eloquently in the first verse. And I'm s glad your second verse allows us to resurrect and soar like a phoenix. To me, the is life versus the afterlife. Excellent comparison. Love, Carolyn
