The Seeds Of Seasons

This breath, beyond my last

To shift the flow of drowning sands

Whose scarcity comforts the stone above my grave

Dug from within myself

To bury me in my bones

To watch me become your tomb

I have watched the mighty fall to nothing

Convinced to act against me, in gradual suicide

I have watched the colours fade away

It all turns to grey, as I fall betrayed

Once cherished and revered

I stand here this day

Battered and neglected

Dead but not defeated

Cast aside as if there were more to burn

The stars shine upon what you've placed beyond your reach

I have watched the turning of blind eyes

To infinite slaughter, the death of those unborn

I am here to dream what you dare not

The eras that dwell beyond your last

These seeds to cast shade on seasons to come

Planted in poison, warped to futility

My gaze from below, above and all dimensions

Has witnessed the horrors that we're yet to execute

And upon my departure

All light will fade away

As you cling to life, choking on my ashes

The condemner you've made yourself to be

You do not belong here with me

Tides be turned as your sun returns to rise again

Trying to forget what's not taken place

On the foundation of agony that you hold so tight

History's deafening echo

Source and testimonial

Of bloodshed reaping emptiness

No release for the live or dead

You've killed me once before I know

Disregarded yourself

While thinking of only gluttony in short sightedness

Why would you think that I am here for you?

Suffocation wrought your end

I've seen you betray yourself a thousand times

My resurrection, this hazardous hand I hold

To grant me stolen life in rebirth of the plague

My presence here, upsetting the falsely peace

This path we walk together has two of one end

I have known nothingness, birthed from deaths in vain

To change and sustain, it's all worth the pain

Come now, to me

With weary bones and wasted tears

With empty words from moments gone

May that which haunts you finally disperse

To empathize is to lie

I know not of your pain

Only those who have walked the desert

Can truly know of its size

I see it now, just as every time

Every time that my eyes are closed

You are stood with your head in the clouds

Dreaming of things so far away from me

Whether you choose to stay

Whether you choose to leave with me

Do not deny that I was here

Should you yearn to go, to walk on without me

Know that always, I will be here
