For Ashes Shall be Your Reward
I have come to you, without sin, without guilt, without evil, without a witness against me, without one whom I have wronged. I am one pure of mouth, pure of hands.
- The Book of the Dead
I stand, stranger in strange world
(It was world of Aprils and Mays)
Without knowing
(Moment of happiness undeserved)
I stand in water, knee deep
(We were dancing on a pool)
In broken and debased silence
(Laughter and unspoken joys)
I lean on, weary upon my labor
(Scream, tears, blood. Unforgiving sins)
My sword, a strange cane
(Befouling me. It is me)
My right hand, calloused and rough
(Debased, of sins and atrocities)
On my left, a tainted smell
(All I have left)
Staring, in hopes and fears
(In darkness, your forgiving eyes)
Smelling of decay nothingness only brings
(The smell of your blood, the smell of unborn dreams)
I move my legs, feeling nothing-pain
(The weight of your body, the heat of your blood)
Into the water, seeking healing
(The agony of your wound, the impossibility)
But there is no healing
(What have I done)
There is no promise
(Oh God, no. No. No. NO)
As I sink to drink the unclean water
(Please, Please wake up. Wake me up)
All I taste is ashes of my reword
(For Ashes Shall be Your Reward)
