Rain Eater

Time has come
 I know the walls around me
 I've covered every inch
 I know they're calling to me
 I'm bleeding minutes, seconds, days into this place
 But time moves so slow
 I work finger bone
 The flesh no longer part of me
 I must emerge
 I am the son of centuries of self-serving, sickening scum
 I can dig and I can crawl away
 From this place of iron and stone
 I can just walk away
 And I'll be free to go
 Heed the calling rain
 To a place that I can call home
 Bury me so I might grow
 Feed me rain, and leave me alone
 Bury me, and leave me alone
 Feed me rain so I might grow
 
 Knowledge through growth
 My veins grow out into the Gaian essence which feeds all life
 Grow into the essence which feeds all life
 Isolation, paralysis
 The state in which I spend eternity interned
 Eternity flows
 ♪
 Time moves slowly, work to emerge
 Fulfill my purpose within the natural world
 Within this temple of dirt
 
 But time is no more
 Where this seed is sewn
 The flesh no longer part of me
 I am alive
 ♪
 I'm the sum of a million years of life, light and love
 Reaching once-dead arms to the all-giving sun above
 Men of flesh and blood would call this gift a curse
 But they don't know my pain
 I would gladly serve this time a million-fold
 ♪
 Bury me so I might grow
 Feed me rain, and leave me alone
 Bury me, and leave me alone
 Feed me rain so I might grow
