Ephemeral - Despite Exile

We’ve prayed for the rain

To cleanse the plagues of the earth

We’ve prayed for the deluge to wash us away

We were brought to face our disaster

The boundaries have been long crossed

The limit exceeded

This is the day we relinquish all misery

The wallowing in apathy

To have it done with these pitiful creatures

Confined in an ocean of repetition

We’ve spent centuries in deception

Chasing ethereal delusions

Divided between fate and fortune

Merging with our fading traces

As disciples we wither beside our masters

We’ll fracture the laws

That plead us defective

Attending the eclipse

When daylight is one with the dusk

To enshrine the birth of a different order

And unleash the fury they have bred in us

To redeem the relics of our past

The premonition of an unnoticed path

A transient justice reigning upon our vestige

Ephemeral

Just for an instant forever condensed

Just for an instant we’ll find a way home.
