I see them walk in masses, yet they are alone
They find shelter through each other, closing the circle
Together they are strong, but not confident in mind
With promising falsehood they follow the book blindly
I once walked among them, trying to fit in
Trying to learn their ways
Their words of kindness was just a lie
The promise of truth, a lie
When rejected and alone, I felt more alive
My Spirit grew and I was free to follow my Will
The walls of despair, I tore down
And opened a path to find my true self
Through shadows I had to walk
Search through pain and misery
There I found my strength and confidence
I have never been more certain

Dejection is growing within me
With a heavy heart I grieve inside
Feelings that should not exist
Always seem to find a way into my life
Everything is meaningless
Too late for progress
Too late for redemption
Years of mental torture
Starting to manifest
Poems of suffering
Dreams of desolation
Cold grip of loneliness
I’m alive yet I’ve never felt so dead
My future is swathed in grey
I see nothing but a grave
A tomb decorated with moss
No flowers can be seen
Undisturbed, it all seems
From this beautiful vision
Unthought-of steps are given
It becomes clearer every day
Death will leap into my life
Like I’ve always known deep inside
I dream of freedom
To float within the spirit realm
Astral laws and thousand realms
Compel my soul to forget life
No turning back
No silver cord to pull me back

Every day is the same
Standing in the light of day
Yet I feel no warmth
No surge of happiness
No strength to move forward
Every night is the same
Shrouding myself in the dark
I feel so cold, so old
Fighting with anxiety
Always doomed to lose
Shadows of the night
Always seem to find me
Even during the light of day
Bound to this cruel fate
Chained to this morbid mind
I was never human inside

The towering trees in the forests are long rows of headstones
With roots braiding our remains
The ancient snow-clad mountain slopes are an abode of souls
Drifting under the cerulean skies
The shifting sand dunes of the desert are a procession of hearses
Carrying the fallen across the land
The deepest reaches of the oceans are halcyon deathbeds
Cradling the lost unfortunates
Over the millennia the earth has borne witness
To the lives and deaths of countless generations
Can you hear her whisper the stories of our ancestors?
Listening unlocks the secrets of ageless wisdom
Emboldened by the insight; our fears are gone
In nature’s charnel house we never walk alone
