PosthumousI walk in envy of those who've expiredMurderous visions of those I despise Desperate and fleeting mortality's fire Masking the fear hidden deep in their eyes Butchered and beaten for crimes uncommitted Impelled and crimsoned to no longer rise Descending toward death raging and lucid Vindicating my accusers' demise Eulogy has echoed away to this pit now committed Ashes to ashes I refuse to rest Until death is conquered overthrown Hide me from the hangman's eye, that are my own Threshold of life beckons the grave allures Rest this misresurrection no flesh endures Will the soul transcend or decay As with this shell the earth is fed Abhorrent to this timeless void From beyond my solemn call Bring to me the fallen walls of death A formless entity's concern to live again solely I yearn From the tomb I will return, reborn to the flesh The headstone now gone from the grave Long since sunken attritions thread This grounds solemnity draws The living still but no longer the dead Through ages I witness, unseen through years I drift Death's throws grow weak, defeated The veil between the living and dead |
