Within and Without

Our life remains
 A process of guilt and obfuscation
 And it stays the same
 No closer to the deeper truths
 And further from a divine light
 We rode on wings, baring our souls / Into the night
 Leaving scattered remnants of self / When the stars fall
 We fell from the sky / The depths went black
 And with a blink / The lesser wind
 Stood and teetered on the chasm's brink / Submitting to the darkness
 And grey, and black and nothingness
 We form a line, from there to here
 Hoping to find our way back
 Gave way to green, and the ultimate question / With the remnants of light
 All things seen and heard / You've sewn the seeds on the altar
 All intangibles given a word / The new dawn's fire
 And now a new breath, a decree / Burns brighter still
 Of purpose, of inspiration, of necessity
 To the many possibilities left unheard
 We bend, we wither, without the wind
 Wearing borrowed skin
 Dethroned, feet set firm
 I see the liars, cower in their dens
 To defy concern, by discerning, we rise again
 To gain a hold, by releasing
 The chaff blows away with the wind
 Fear of death is a delusion we must escape
 While weakness preys upon the Will
 Yet we offer the excuse of self
 With scream and whisper a call will be heard
 Unable to say where the mountain ends and the clouds begin
 Floating in the aether awaiting the grasp of all who dare
 Unwilling to say where the mountain ends and the clouds begin
 We bend, we wither, without the wind
 And grey, and black, and nothingness
 With scream and whisper
 Our call will be heard
