Eternicopia

Eternicopia

Memories emerge from shadow of another time
before humanity was chosen for its fatal crime
stirrings in a vacant soul endeavor to be real
and cloak themselves in naked flesh so once again they feel

eddies of uncertainty surround a beating heart
that flounders in a sea of doubt which caused its beat to start
yet still the pull of ancient tides rejuvenates the flow
of blood and tears and sweat and fears that beings come to know

they were me and I was them, before this world began,
scattered seeds of cosmic life evolving into man
eons of insanity, milleniums of doubt,
tossed into an angry void with only one way out

bones were cast by fledgling gods as demons danced with death
all so that a puny race could draw its primal breath
one is all and all is one, good and evil dwell
in the same dichotomy where Heaven conquers Hell

what is born must surely die, and what has died will live,
to exonerate reality that we cannot forgive
so it was, and so it is, and ever it shall be,
until whatever made it so returns to set us free
