The men of clay
They have no heart
They say
Their eyes are blind
Not smart
Galmi
Like me

The men of clay
Move slow and mute
Look grey
Their ears are deaf
Transmute
Galmi
With plea

Galmi = Golem

He walks, hardly touching earth,
His arms provoke cerulean sky 
As wings about to try and fly:
Raising a new eternal bird.
                                  A swan, yet not about to die
                                  Instead a phoenix in disguise
                                  Refuting all existing lies
                                  Refusing low, now aiming high
             They walk their muted life away
             Reminder of his life on earth
             His former life of lack and dearth
             Inside of him they'll always stay
