Life, Death, Solitude and Resurrection (Part Three)
The sickness rattles our body like a rope shivering back in forth in a well
With our meager eyes we look at our sons and grandsons begging for a way out of this shell
Dying is the real punishment of hell
As we fight so long against an uncaused cause
For a hundred and fifty thousand years our species evolved
Wallowing, swallowing, running, writing, talking, and planning as the earth revolved
Many a thing our species achieved and invented
But a way to circumvent death will never be augmented
Bam!
The axe comes down
As we grip the straws above us and drown
They cry, my soul disappears, and my body is smeared
Adam means earth
So ironic that we are nicknamed after the place of our birth
A setting so wretched and dearth
And the place that we are set to soon return
As fate and destiny has chosen us to fill the stomach of a worm
The darkness of life becomes overshadowed by the colossal end
Eternity is still ahead of us and here is where I will spend it
I can no longer see the sky of fate and destiny in this place I descend
But I see a darkness you cannot begin to comprehend
So I wait here
One does not know for how many a year
Listening to the peaceful and tranquil clear
Inside, I am still waiting for the one I revere
Tears are shed for me and I taste the blood they cry
Until they join us and our tombstones aren't read
Dozens of millions of years pass in this solitude and period of goodbye
Ending only when the universe chooses to join the dead
My conscience remains like a boulder of my chest
My sinful nature is far from blessed
My karma waiting in line to protest my ways and detest
I'm scared, but relaxed - to explain this period of solitude is to jest
Right when I least expect the rising voice
Ending my period of solitude was a period of rejoice
Seventh trumpet was sounded by the angel shaking and rattling the creation
Us and our millions of years in life, death, and solitude
Resurrection became our salvation
Revival of our bodies, the blood in our veins, as we awoke from our indifferent graves
Entering our bodies were our souls, blessing us with life's vibration
Creation revitalized as fate and destiny chose to save
Today I stand after lying down for too long
Inside of me is a happiness that was so strong
Omnipotent peace, utopia, a perception we thought was so wrong
Now, in this resurrected life we will all eventually belong
