The crust of sacred earth now binds me down

And coldness clings to my bones

Yearning for the dawn's first rays of the sun

A promise to be fulfilled

Hanging on the edge forever it seems

Confusion still draws near

Close my eyes last time, reach for the divine

And leave this night behind

A new construction of being is built up for me

The spirit shall spring free

As old forms disappear, lie rotting in ground

The creatures of soil have feast

Birds go circles in the sky

They'll carry away the rest of my empty shell

And vanish in the light

To feed their newborn soon spreading their wings

As new day dawns from me

This fortress must stand
