Rise

Rise
You faceless
You thoughtless
You voiceless victims
Cry

No more
Your past

Erodes inscriptions

I gather my goodbyes

Press them together

Til time and space subside

Under this heat and pressure

But I am bound to carry on
In shades of grey
Solemn strangers call my name
I cannot trust in any god;
I'll place my faith
In fragile human will and form

one day we'll just give in
no longer run or hide
find what's been here all along

buried deep or tossed aside

I hope these walls

Come crashing down

Before the day we're torn asunder

And if you fall

Without a sound

I'll hold your up

Or you'll drag me under

But I am bound to carry on
In shades of grey
Solemn strangers call my name
I cannot trust in any god;
I'll place my faith
In fragile human will and form

Blind to the beacon

Head in the sand

With passing glances

We move along

Through thick illusion

And frosted glass

Sky laughing at me

Spins far too fast

Now redshift the horizon

See tainted Eos rise

In bookmatch perfection

This matchbook inspiration

I am bound to carry on
In shades of grey
Solemn strangers call my name
I cannot trust in any god;
I'll place my faith
In fragile human will and form

I am bound to carry on
In shades of grey
Solemn strangers call my name
I cannot trust in any god;
I'll place my faith
In fragile human will and form

The earth still shakes

The torch still burns

This is not still

This is not dead

We are not still

We are not dead
