Title - Immortal Death

Future time will tell if it ever ended,
As prophesized in the beginning, when He ascended.

Shall we follow the Wind,
Or even aspire to become the Idama,
And leave the Forge at such a wim?

Should we acknowledge His heavenly ties,
Stand praying for our souls before all of us dies,
Or even succumb to the lies of the seven tribes?

Thousands of lives depend upon our choices,
Yet we cast aside their fate in favour of more resources.

Even if we never feel torn by our actions,
Know of those that mourn the fractions.

When we die in the far reaches of cold space,
Do you always have the courage to look into your new face?

As that darkness beckons, does the soul wander?
If so, your next vessel, sacred it will be no longer.

Banished we are from fleshless peace,
Bound to serve our eternal decrees.

As we continue to open our new eyes,
Our collective suffering never dies.
