Above the ones less fortunate
And though I live, I am but one
While those below are infinite
Your hands are reaching for my own
Your lips are thirsting for my life
Your hearts are yearning for release
But all I have to give is strife
I see your pain, you can't see mine
Your eyes are blind, I am not free
I am a slave, to what brought you here
And that is what I'll always be
The sun is setting now, I see
The yellow moon has cast its light
I see your weathered bodies rise
Creatures of darkness, you rule the night
Your moving shadows dance for me
Your hollow music resonates
Your tortured voices sing my name
And now I know I can't escape
My earthly ambitions, hopes and dreams
Slowly drift away from me
I take your hand, you lead me down
To the floor of immortality
I feel my heartbeat slowing down
As I stay in synchronicity
My final breath escapes my lungs
As you take my life from me
Now I lay here, in your grave
I see them walk the world above
And wonder why you wanted me
Why your death was not enough
In my head the rhythm pounds
I hear the spectral symphony
And I anxiously await the night
I bring them here to grieve with me
