Resting in fields of a nebula, I rise from my throne of stars

There to my right is a gaseous form, and I speak but no words come forth

Colors burn the human eye

Godlike structures etched in time

Paradox of change divine, cast from shadows

We're all one creature, life form, cell, and form divine

I am bleeding into the cup of immortality

Mockery of human form

Spirit child, you're now reborn

Enter through these astral gates, fly beyond and seal your fate

Dreaming of you now, wondering if you're still here

Move through the arches, the dark behind the doorway now

Glitches of gold in the sky above me, wince at its light as you cry in glory

Now that you have eternity at your hands, will you find all you sought before?

Fantasy renewed yet different

Given life anew but skewed and warped

You've made the progress and done me proud

I'll call you family and lift the shroud

Bestowed my wisdom upon the noble meek

There is reward for those who seek

I found thy wisdom, but at a price

Gave up all that I am, soon I will forget that I was once a being with everlasting hope

And yet I learned the lesson, shed the mask and coped

Pass the light, remember the fallen

I will be the King of Rome

Singing songs to honor the loved

You will be the King of Rome

Given the choice of how to live

Honor my family scarred and torn

Cancer is just a part of life

Everyone tumbles in the flames

There is no reason to explain anything by the hand or will of God

Life's a burden, love is loss

You're not a winner when you don't even play

Give it all and it's not enough

Nothing that's worthwhile comes without some pain
