still as a ghost for an instant.
Then you flicker.

Let the heavens weep and mournLet the heavens weep and mourn,
As Life and Death, their fate is sworn,
In this war of souls, where rage shall keep,

Let Your Soul Be SeenI cannot see the essence of thee,
Yet in thy deepest mystery lies reality.

Through the golden cracks of the sky,
As I flow, like a vagabond river,
To vanish into the sea of death,
