He who calls Me
I heard a bird call my name
As it flew I followed as it came
What was to be was lost
What was not was now the same
And so I followed he who called my name
Into the abyss of endless trees I soon came
and soon after my mind flooded within the trees
With thoughts that binded and let me not be free
But into the heart of darkness I still walked
For all I could hear was this bird as it talked
My name I could hear in the center of its song
But my step seemed to reach a bit too far
For as I stood in the dark
The bird and my name were soon gone
I sought refuge but found absolutely none
All I had were my clouded thoughts
I found no light, neither any hope
for I was lost in the darkness no way to cope
So now as the answer grew ever near
I found my only escape was my only fear
I had to melt in the shadows and take a name
Become the forest, the darkness one in the same
No more shall I follow the one who calls my name
For the one who I should follow
is the one who knows the heart,
the soul, and the blood within my viens
