I Am

When the sun falls upon the day, I’ll be there

When the moon rises to rule the night, I’ll be there

When the oceans revolt to eat the land, I’ll be there

When stars streak across the sky, I’ll be there



If fires burn away the earth, it’s me

If perpetual dark covers the land, it’s me

If storms rage with screaming wind, it’s me

If chasms form right under your feet, it’s me



Where the galaxies meet in violence, I stay

Where water consumes countless lives, I stay

Where stars die in a brilliant light, I stay

Where eyes stare at the guilty one, I stay



Who judges others while imperfect, I watch

Who howls pointless remorse to the moon, I watch

Who cries in fear of the inevitable, I watch

Who joins the crazies and their anarchy, I watch



The darkest heart, I am

The brightest candle, I am

The final word, I am

The empty space, I am



I am everything. I am nothing. I simply am.
