Your Last Breaths

From the time you understood anything You're misled to believe a false truth If you lived on in one's glory All that could befoul would be diverted This couldn't be further from the truth You control nothing And there's nothing you can do Your path has been set And to this you will see it through Dividing the flesh and the essence While dying - you see as you should But could never see Fleeing the host - panic frenzy Your last breaths to be counted And faint images fade as hope loses its worth Lift the veil to see the unseen The absence of light, exquisite agony Forked tongue messenger Deliverer whose words are the key The door of perception unlocks This couldn't be further from the truth You control nothing And there's nothing you can do Your path has been set And to this you will see it through Dividing the flesh and the essence While dying - you see as you should But could never see Fleeing the host - panic frenzy Your last breaths to be counted And faint images fade as hope loses its worth
