From Bulwark to Bane |
| Let your name echo on |
| Off my tongue; |
| I fear no timely death |
| All mortal suffering I defy |
| With faith no saviour ought deny |
| I watch the wraiths as they’re gathering |
| Preceding Yama, on a buffalo steed; |
| He’s bearing down with malevolence |
| On me |
| Should I relent and lay trust in your goodness |
| In descent through the crust in to darkness? |
| My Shiva, I’m fading. |
| Don’t forsake me, defend |
| — spare me this end |
| …there is a slightest hinting breeze |
| Dare I awake to what s’rounds my vicinity? |
| Rising up I find myself embracing sights familiar; |
| Still, like homelands left in wake of war |
| And what form is this that lies before me now? |
| Yama is your name, ol' tyrant infamed; |
| Gripping your noose with cadaverous jade hands |
| Oh Shiva, you’ve fell death |
| Indebting corporeal; |
| We who so anxiously drew breath |
| But as living laws crumble |
| We’ve lost sight of justice |
| — perhaps not deities |
| But our own mortality |
| Instills in us all |
| Our morality |
| Deathless existence |
| Has become the worst |
| Fate I’d imagine |
| Return mortal curse |
