Right here
Right now
With this ocean between us
Where tragedy confronts eternity
I can finally see your light
From the darkness of my own heart
A grave machination of despair
The soul taken
My corpse remains
You walked through my fires unscathed
You've passed through death's dark gates
And yet still live
Excelsior
Still, I look for you
Relentless, I'm lost without you
The ghosts of my past haunt me still
Continuously burning me alive
A whispered silence inflaming my throat
Exhausted with no lungs to breathe
No air with which to speak
But a hush and a sigh, then I'll be gone
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?
As my vision bleeds to red
Your freedom burns my heart
It puts fire in my bones
Until I'm left with ashes of what once were
And shadows of what could be
