Now as One - Dismemberment

And so I glanced upon, sacred books of old

And the story it laid there before me

Began in rapture, on worlds unknown

Beneath sunlight, so bright and majestic

Awaits, the gathering storm

Unaware of the doom that proceeds them

Society looks on toward their downfall

With warm embrace they walk the path to extinction

Noble lives, encased in walls of stone!

Now as one, great pillars rise

In homage, to those once known

I look further now

Page after page

A once perfect beginning

Led to untimely decay

Corrupt moral devastation

Turning, blind eyes to the truth

I hear their faint whispers calling out

«Heed our words or next will be you!»

A chill lurches up my spine

And erases, my visions of grandeur

I ask them, «What now can I do?!»

They reply, «The choice is left up to you!»

Lost

Can’t find my way back, home

I’ve traveled

Through space and time, gaining knowledge from those unknown

But I’ve learned

With time comes dust, immortality must be earned

It must be earned!
