Forever and a day
Tearful in my penitence
I knew I couldn't stay
From the perfumed palace
Of my nearest, dearest dreams
I made to run to angry skies,
Let thunder drown my screams
From beyond the universe,
Lightning paled my face
Time my never-ending one
To leave this mortal place
Time to put to practice
What you learned at Master's feet
Time to be the one
We always knew that you could be
Release the things you're grasping
For they aren't even real
Embrace the truth, be comforted
By things that you can't feel
Do not fear oblivion,
Nor the sting of death
Don't clench your fists, your teeth,
Do not hold your dying breath
Remember who you are
And with pleasure lift the veil
As if you'll live forever
Because you surely will
