The Ritual

The story of the world taking form anew Now redesigned Condemned to death and reimagined for me Under a crying sky It's pulling me under As I sink into my resting place Unearthing all my own long-buried mistakes They're what is left, what now remains The story is unfolding And I fear the turn of the page The chapters following The end that culminates Redesigned With heroes left behind I'm surrendering this time That I'll one day be revived Bear the weight I'm faced with Moments I have wasted I'm searching for something more Than the life I knew before Stare upon the faceless Those I trust my fate with now Now Looking on the world fading from my view Giving way to narrations that aren't my own And the sun will not ever come up And the plague of today will remain for tomorrow All my trust, now, is placed in you In the hands that sickness would answer to And when mourning had finally come You erased the days since taken place, those following The story is unfolding And I fear the turn of the page The chapters following The end that culminates Redesigned With heroes left behind
