Terminal

Dear departing heart, how will you leave?
I’m not unlike the others,
I’m not unlike the others am I?

We knew that time would come take it, our truce so temporary.
I have turned on the things I love,
a choice that you made for me.

Why do those eyes now look away?
I am the same, just where you left me.
And in the presence of so-called foes,
you’ll find the wretched are those you’ve held close.

Betray those you will leave, all that you grieve.
Betray those you will leave, all that you grieve.

Sing me the anthem you’re all preaching straight from the cut of your mouth.
Teach me those secrets you’re all cradling, hiding in the depths of your keep.

With what’s been done, how could you say that this land is for me?
Where is this peace you claim?
And in the end, what will be left for your seed to believe?
Where is this peace you claim?

My mutiny,
my last chance to face what’s in front of me,
what will come of a one man’s trek,
to the deepest parts of discovery?

Betray those you will leave, all that you grieve.
Betray those you will leave, all that you grieve.
Sing me the anthem you’re all preaching straight from the cut of your mouth.
Teach me those secrets you’re all cradling, hiding in the depths.

With what’s been done, how could you say that this land is for me?
Where is this peace you claim?
My heart, my home, my grave, all in a place who’s name I cannot speak.
