As We Live We Die
by
Sekhem Psikor Strecker
So let the mirrors break
Exhausted of the sane
Hold your sceptres high
In the pouring rain
In tunnels take a ride
The vibes our spirits make
The fabric of time
Are creased for our own sake
As we live we die
When we die we live on
Our bodies lay waste
And our spirits move on
How is thee to cry
In the folds of angels' clothes
Our ripples and reflections
Imbibe our shadows
Maypole ribbons are severed
With red and rusted shears
Why is the world we live in
Flattened by our fears?
As we live we die
When we die we live on
Our bodies lay waste
And our spirits move on
A shattered glass is a shattered dream
With misted parts
And broken seams
Our senses dulled
With evil fill
Our empty minds
And in thy kill
As we live we die
When we die we live on
Our bodies lay waste
And our spirits move on
