By now this waste of time should cease
The beauty of a world unleashed awaits me.
I'm riding a wave of good intent
Seeking out my heart's content
Of inner pent-up feelings
Those which make me cry and set me free.
The sober eye of Brother Death
Investigates me.
My Brother brings fear--
But I laugh and take none--
Making each battle my last one--
As a warrior would stand fast
Knowing his time is near
His enemy his fear... 'til the end
But Death-- his Friend.
Yes, living with Death has set me free
Broken the shackles holding me
To the people I know.
Like my history.
Why can't it be a mystery?
I'm just me!
I must face my lifelong race for time
With only an instant in mind
Viewing its value in secrecy
While others whine
And those who see it
And those who know
Like you, my child, will grow--
And even if I never see your eyes again
You live within me.
No chain shall anchor me
As time reshapes my mind
Now I should melt and flow...
May Death be by your side
The fury of a world unleashed awaits me
The furtive eye of Brother Death
Investigates me.
