Autobituary
(Bleak Insight)
How many years have I slept in this grey?
Engulfed in the binding, tissue remains
Secluded from sunlight, so weak inside
My strength eroded, my spirit survives
Death holds me no escape
Trapped, cannot bear my wake
Life takes peace in mistake
Rule of a Dynasty
Entombed by my decree
Lost in sad memory
I feel the burning sun
Shouts in the ancient tongue
Pain built the rest of one
I still live
Sweat. Spoil. Pain. Blood. Toil.
Eyes of Horus, enforced sight
A ceaseless conscience, that breathes inside
How cold the gaze, I see the age
Advance, invention, they mystify
New life, calls me, greatness, I see
Science, logic, fortune, beyond me
Insight, Incites, inflames, invites
Find me, free me, raise me, wake me
I still live
How many years have I slept in this grey?
Engulfed in the binding, tissue remains
Secluded from sunlight, so weak inside
My strength eroded, my spirit survives
Auto-obituary. Auto-obituary. I still live. Autobituary
Eyes of Horus, enforced sight
Ceaseless conscience, that breathes inside
I wait, alone, darkness my home
Waiting for someone, my torment to end
