Souls


Humanity imprisoned 

We delight in direction

We seek for satisfaction

We crave what is certain

Yet we seem always lost, never satiated, and indecisive

The moment we are stripped of every material thing 

We've convinced ourselves we need

The moment we are faced with the reality

Only the soul left to heed 

Stranded the human spirit is in the island of greed

Blinded by darkness, the shadows of the black sea

I know the treasures of this world cannot feed

The most important part of me

Salvation

Where would I be if my soul wasn't free?
