Inauspicious
It's dark, cold, and gloomy
I can feel life leave through me
The sky is darkening
I can feel the brightness lurking
The memories I see
All of them a person I wanted to be
It feels like the world is on my shoulders
More than a million marble boulders
All this responsibility
Now, this is the day I'm set free
The air is cold
The wind is feeling bold
Why is it that I can't get through this veil
I have what life I have left
Is this hell
This isn't right
I don't want to be here to fight
This is heavenly battle
I hear shields and swords rattle
Everyone suffering and dying
This is what happens after the deceiving and lying
I have to leave
This isn't where I want to be
It's all white now
I have been asked to bow
I'm deep in the kingdom
I have no one to run from
No more darkness
No more lying or deceiving
Only forgiving
I can feel life leave through me
The sky is darkening
I can feel the brightness lurking
The memories I see
All of them a person I wanted to be
It feels like the world is on my shoulders
More than a million marble boulders
All this responsibility
Now, this is the day I'm set free
The air is cold
The wind is feeling bold
Why is it that I can't get through this veil
I have what life I have left
Is this hell
This isn't right
I don't want to be here to fight
This is heavenly battle
I hear shields and swords rattle
Everyone suffering and dying
This is what happens after the deceiving and lying
I have to leave
This isn't where I want to be
It's all white now
I have been asked to bow
I'm deep in the kingdom
I have no one to run from
No more darkness
No more lying or deceiving
Only forgiving
