Chapter 1 - The Theory

The Theory

Below the embers where I lie

Into an unknown abyss of life

A journey which to take its course would spark the fear before the flame



As I stand before the grave

Three steps I took the time to save

Three steps I took to find the slumber kept within the earth's confines



I looked beyond the rim of dawn

And saw a shadow rise upon

Rise upon the waking space that's come to be the only vice



She approached the tomb at which I knelt

And I saw at once what I'd been dealt

I understood just how she felt but shed no tear of vacancy



By then my pallor rivaled white

And past the girl glowed blinding light

Nothing can surpass the cruelty of the way I saw her fall



I turned to take my final breath

That I had savored for sweet death

And recalled for her no time of life that had been at its best



Of late that's what I then believed

But now it seems so clear to me

Spend all of life to warrant for the purity we can't retrieve
