Ashes

I am the eye uncovering your world
I am the essence – the entity of all
I once gave birth to you
Just as I will entomb you again
Into the cycle of fathomless creation
A symbiosis of life and death.

Turn matter into dust
Storm of dispersion
All that once was is lost
Inversion of the god's creation.

Flames have formed my state
It was you who fed the hunger
Of the starving fire
As sign of my gratitude
I dry your tears with my arid breath.

Among the dead I wander
Above the ruins of your world I sweep
Uniting what is asunder
From the highest place down into the deep.

Ashes remain, I stain the purification
Swallowed by the rain, back into the initiation.

I embrace ages of ambiguity
For I embody a terminal certainty
Kings have crossed my path, empires kneeled before me
My strength is all-determining, I prevail at last.

Ashes remain.

Among the dead I wonder
I prevail at last.
