Scatter my bones atop the peaks

Of sacred mountains

And let the soil reclaim me

The vultures that fly, the worms that crawl

Creatures under the sky, they are worthy

One and all

My dying wish

To return to the earth

That bore witness and wonder

To endless rebirth

All has come before

All will outlive

We are not fit to share

Nature will never forgive

If our sun never rises

What would truly be lost?

The perpetual twilight illuminates,

Reveals the cost

I would gladly repay

All debts to the crucible

The scales will be balanced

With blood and bone, marrow and all

Let roots dig their way through my carcass

Let vermin feast on my flesh

As I go to my rest, I am content

To know I return from whence I came

May my bones bleach the earth

May the carrion birds excise what remains

To the mouths of babes

The cycle begins again

My final wish

To return to the soil

That bore witness in wonder

To the birth of us all

If our sun never rises

Would we truly be lost?

The perpetual twilight illuminates,

Reveals the cost

I will proudly repay

My debt to the crucible

The scales will be balanced

With blood and bone, marrow and all

All is dust
