Amidst The Ancient Suns

Once more the ancient trees call to me
"flee the shallow world of man"
Past winters gate and into the hills
Forsake this mortal life and rise before the sun
Far from shades of bitter life, I seek transcendence
Along the mountain path at oceans end, I dwell in silence
Laid upon a lake of black stone
My arms and legs pulled into the earth
Walking through the darkest flames
And watching through the eyes of the sun.

A thousand drums of war beating like you've never heard
I will rise beyond this, I will know the stars
Forever bound in Cosmic union, with the land where I know I am king
With open eyes I lay adrift while I am learning to die.

To escape my hate if for one moment tell the truth of my legacy
The truth, and leave me with naught but my name
So I could never be here and thou I never was
I know what tears will flow from my slowed breathing
But I'm just sleeping and at last i'm about to wake up
Like a volcano, like an earthquake, I'm shaken right down to the core
Humbled by what I can't know
And as my flesh dissolves and the light overtakes me
I must ascend to this higher place
Where I will dwell forever living without form, in further galaxies
But I will be living through you, flowing in all that you do
Blowing in the air.
