Cradle To Grave
Newborn soul of wind and sky
Angels tread softly upon this place
Eyes of elemental flame
Glowing passion, simmering grace
Feral child of natures plan
Innocence of this earthly place
Learning now the ways of man
His sins to be embraced
Realm of man exacts its toll
A life spent bereft of care
Cynics heart, unfeeling hands
Vacant eyes and deadened stare
Beliefs embraced, preached as truth
Corrupted chants of prayer
Spread the lies of immortality
The guff no souls to spare
Fire to embers, flames to ash
Life's goals begin to fail
Within himself he lives and breathes
Good intentions he derails
Final breaths he draws in pain
Memories start to pale
A world now dims in retrospect
As he steps beyond the veil
