1.
An emblem is set ablaze
I arise with each piercing blow
there is something here
there is something here still worthy
an emblem carved and set on fire
at the heart of the matter
I absorb all the blows
there is something here
I am here
2.
Here in the kingdom of wreckage
I look around and smile
Yes, the rain is washing away the dirt
Yes, the rain is making mud of it all
here in the kingdom of my wreckage
I crown this glory
gripping the sword by the blade
3.
The ideals are getting old
the gold plating is rusting
you sit and wonder about treasure
evolving just to get more
I am done with all of that
you say I have unhinged
just because I turn away from all that glitters
you say I am no longer human for not wanting anymore
but I say
I have been reborn
4.
Just as I dehydrate into a pail
I drink my own
the salt burns
my tears are now plasma
dare I rival the sun?
dare I say I burn just the same?
5.
Almighty stars
look down and see me
have I the same glint?
almighty God
look down and see me
have I the same reflection?
the pools in where You were born
now deserts in where I roam
Early Dew of Morning
