Fate's Descent

My body rests in a dark chamber
 As I am receiving final farewells
 A saddened silence fills the air
 The smell of flowers, the smell of death
 The latch is opened, my skin reflects the light
 A short prayer is recited in my honour
 Some take a step forward, their stares descend
 Looks of deception, looks of despair
 Some are faceless, some are caught in the moment
 Communication at light speed occurs
 faster than words can be expressed
 One-way telepathy provides the living souls
 a sense of presence when left alone
 A mental sketch is tattooed on their minds
 time to say their "adieux" arrives
 My vessel sealed, a cold breeze strikes the world beyond
 I am imprisioned from the world of light
 Some induce tears, hostage to emotion
 Looking from above, I can feel their pain
 ... I will guide
 Purity resists, faith will overcome
 ... I survive
 They forgive my sins, I can feel the peace
 ... Of my life
 Looking through their souls
 Timeless sense of loss, overtaking thee
 ... I will guide
 With a mere remorse, they will call to me
 ... I survive
 Tell the secrets of an unforgotten past
 ... Of my life
 Looking through my soul...
 Voiceless. but present...
 Some can feel it, some ignore the forces
 As I descend into the depths of goodbyes
 [solo: Seghers]
 The raining earth is bestowed upon my being
 As I watch over and comfort thee
 [solo: Frydrychowicz]
 A last prayer in unison begins
 [solo: Frydrychowicz]
 Forever lasting, words do not die
 Priceless balance
 "You feel I have abandoned you, but it is you who left me behind"
