Open the Bars

Come forth! From that square lifeless wood I adjure you, From the breast of your captor cease, Dare nature's will and power to hold you still Fight from within you And break those shackles Of audacious cruelty. Loose yourself from the bond Of death's hostility Can you hear me? He that was pronounced dead Living on our minds like a dream Stop our grief and shame from the veils of darkness. Come forth! From the grave. Take hold of life The earth's empty by your departure . Rage, Howl, And Awake. Empty the grave at this command Break the doors! Loose the grips! Come forth! If there are ears in the dark, Then out as we wait. https://www.spreaker.com/user/12620924/open-the-bars
