On the Edge and After

Turn on the night
 Let the light shine in,
The zeal of the hour
	Beholds the time from within.

Usher me the epic dawn, sublime…
	And the euphoric mortality,
Power me the magic harmony, cleansing of the calls
	And the divine spirituality.

The thoughts of the mourning mass
	Demon-spells the freedom muse,
The placebo affects of the light divine
	Stone scripts the wonder views.

I hear some say,
Life is not a waiting room,
Follow the path of the heart
	Or else awaits the wrath of doom!

Steadfast the glorious
	Beyond the depth of the obvious,
The wisdom of my might
	Gallants my kingdom to the victorious.
