In a place where evil resides
And children fear their shadows
a place where a demon hides

I understand that death is torment
And that evil contorts the heart
But is it true that souls must fend
And all gods must be apart

So that angels can go from strife
And let go of the ancient star

In a time where children stand still
And birds flock into shapes and directions
Where I have forgotten my will
And where the ancient star controlled my true emotions

This is the time where I lay dormant
And wait for all gods to be One
I eat side by side with the cormorant
And I cut off my own legs so the bird may run…
