Rest as practice for death
Lauded by the vultures, gnawed by the wild
It’s infested my blood, seasoned the earth
At last my body is soft enough, light enough
The wings that flocked my heart kaleidoscope through me
The murder lifting
Transformation surpassing the wishful death of ego
Immortal hunger holds my soul by reigns
Harping strings of my veins, bones snapping
At every toll a whip strikes, a match of fire
Too much passion
Nothing is wasted, not all is lost
Born lethal, made protection, saints waged
Nothing is wasted, not all is lost
Blessings and veneration bade
Rest as practice for death
Lauded by the vultures, gnawed by the wild
It’s infested my blood, seasoned the earth
At last my body is soft enough, light enough
The wings that flocked my heart kaleidoscope through me
The murder lifting off and I carry you with me
Unsheathed, the smithed bones of mine to blade
At every finger a flame , chalked up to the afterlife
But this hunger is ceaseless, restless never dies
Gleaming ribs of saber, sworn to fall by vows
Transformation surpassing the wishful death of ego
Immortal hunger holds my soul by reigns
Harping strings of my veins, bones snapping
Just out of frame of national geographic
At every toll a whip strikes, a match of fire
Too much passion
Nothing is wasted, not all is lost
Born lethal, made protection, saints waged
Nothing is wasted, not all is lost
Blessings and veneration bade
Unsheathed, the smithed bones of mine to blade
At every finger a flame, chalked up to the afterlife
But this hunger is ceaseless, restless never dies
Gleaming ribs of saber, sworn to fall by vows
