Arise

Otherworldly
Fight or flight
Instinctually I search for light
A light within or from without
The darkness never conceals my doubt
In infamy I'll live forever
My spiritual and saintly endeavor.

To find the meaning of hidden truth
Do what thou wilt, arise with thy power
Love is the law, love under will
Destroy all that leads you astray
This is the end, the beginning of the wrath
Where time stands still for those with no time left
Disguised as relief, eternal anguish
A sacred walk, a rite of passage
For now is the time to Arise
A beckon to a gathering
Find hope in every breath,
Grasp ahold of life's every chance
Defend your honor, your life, your love
Grasp ahold of life's every chance
Defend your honor, your love, your life.

Transitioning from the earthly to eternal
A voiceless echo resounds
The shallow crater opens
And engulfs them all
Arise, you are alive
Embrace the cold, the bitter unknown
Transform inside, independent from strife
Persevere, take hold, never step aside
Brief is our truth, this external light
Eternal is our path into the outer reaches of darkness
A path all who seek must tread
And hidden amongst its shadows
The understanding and acceptance that fuels the beacon
Wrought from the flame of desire and knowing
The fire of our intrinsic light.
