Ashes To Ashes
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Life may be lost
In a single wind gust
The question is
What is the next level
Questions number far more than answers
Is there really a devil
Is there really a god
These are questions mankind has been
Asking since the beginning
Some say it is a sin
To question reality
Yet should sin be labeled
Those who have not found the road
To a power only known in fable
Mythic stories and tales
Portray the snake to be evil
Yet the good
Is that of the eagle
Evil is creation
That of the mind
Yet the fiendish
May only prevail
If faith shall fail
Light is everywhere
One just must know where to look
Dark may be
Illuminated by the good
Yet light may not
Be darkened by the bad
Only when the clouds
Are up in the sky
Shall light dim
At the sight of the eye
There is one thing
Good shall remain throughout
Only if one believes
Beyond any doubt
