Down
Within my spirit and soul
Lays dormant a picture a most
Detaining, lustful, endless sight
The world I used to know
I loved and adored before
Forsaken dreams consumed my life
I see the embers glow
We pass the fading torch
And hope that there's a heart like this one
That's better than the last
Yet fruitless is the flame
With no one near to warm
The same as with no one to love
Down
It roams upon the Earth
My incarnation below
Lays waiting
Frozen still at night
Further along its way
The purgatorial maze
Will coax the lamb to its slaughter
I see the embers glow
We pass the fading torch
And hope that there's a heart like this one
That's better than the last
And stronger than my own
Concealed in flesh and bone
I'll see it for myself some day
So far away
