Asylum

Save me from my deepest screams
Deafening
A long time ago I stood tall in front of them all
But today I fell down on my knees
For the first time.
To burn me they want
Fill me with their healing smoke
And send my soul up to the weeping red skies
Above us all

A sluggish look remains
As I am being led to my death
Why do I insist to live on?
My legacy is beyond their reach anyway...

The likes of me has abounded me
Each locked up in his private space
Hiding, chanting, summoning our fathers.
They shell fight after I'm gone.

Go on
Drown my corps
And I shell rise above the surface
Floating, smiling
Death is my temporary state of mind
My asylum
