Immortal

Wrote this oddly at 5:00 in the morning :)

When I meet my Maker

Or am to be branded by him a taker

My soul will softly say

Another night, another day

When the youthful side of me be cast

My arrogant thoughts will be gone at last

My spirit and soul may yet be slain.

But will the man of bone remain?

This heart that feels, these lungs that shout

My thoughts still hustle us about

This mind that intensifies it! Or so it seems

Is nothing but a hive of dreams.

People today hunger for power

And can't find God, in their little hour

My undying mind is theirs to control

Consisted of dying flesh and dying soul.

Tis long till eve and morn are gone

Slowly, the endless night lingers on

And upon departure, grows a birth

That shall last as long as earth

Lie down in the bed of dust;

Bear the fruit that bear you must

Bring the eternal seed to light

And morn is all the same as night.

Rest from your travels, your sores

The pains of change shall be no more

Yet the day shall always shift and change

There is nothing to gain, from your pain

Another body, the skin cast

The men that used you will forever last

Another night, another day

My soul will softly say

These men now do my will

Even tomorrow I will be the master still

Now both my flesh and stone are strong

It shall be easy to push the slaves along

Before my glory shall decay 

Every man, like dust will be blown clean away

And my soul will softly say

Another night, another day
