When Life's Essence Is Lost


Deep beneath the sea
And all that I can see
Is a seam of fear and sin
A shame of a life unseen

These sores in my soul
Will guide me home again
Like yesterday I’ll cling to life
And eat off the affliction of my mind

My heart beats
But without a cause
Like a river flowing
Into lava, I live day by day
Hoping for the gods to grant
My wish…

Here in the dark
I lurk with my head down
Like a defeated Zulu warrior
My spirit holds on hope
To carry on
Fighting this forlorn
Of a life they ask me to live.
