(No date) |
|
Blessed and cursed with the Phoenix's gift |
|
Death and birth arrive in one instant so swift |
|
The ending of a former life |
|
The beginning of feeling alive |
|
Rotating shackles determine place and time |
|
To create 2 endlings, 1 malign |
|
The skin is burnt to cinder |
|
New flesh is born unhindered |
|
I am not One Solemn Entity |
|
- Going through a myriad of conversions - |
|
But a whole entirety |
|
Unbound by the strings of time |
|
So one man's breath is another's death |
|
A premonition that's been often said |
|
Incarnating eternally |
|
Choosing 1 identity |
|
Sometimes awakening in a foreign land |
|
Once 1 drowned in water, now 1 in sand |
|
Believing what the eyes can see: |
|
"A nation in atrophy" |
