My withered, coarse wings
My sole instrument of liberty
Of evolution without bounds
Are charred down to the bone

This vivid wound of mine
Sears through the flesh
With true demonic fervor
Without giving rest

In a dream I shut my eyes
Ready to relinquish to agony
To kneel before my misery
And take damnation's hand

But out of a narrow cleft
A surge of brilliant light
Emanates suddenly
Revoking the dark

Slowly I open my eyes
To marvel the strange aura
To let myself be enveloped
By power overwhelming

Electrifying sensations
Course down my spine
Emitting life into every
Fiber of my faint being

My bright, magnificent wings
My sole instrument of liberty
Of evolution without bounds
Are throbbing with energy

As I soar up into the heavens
Rapture gushing in my veins
I cannot help but discern
That the dreamer has awoken
