The Grey Spirit

Has my time come, I wonder
my children, who are beyond my dreams
you call yourself siblings yet I cannot protect you
from the destinies that you have written
a truth that you believe in
inside your brilliant minds, I wonder
to sweep the dust off the Spine of the World
and to break free from your worldly moulds
but however it goes, whenever you visit
I will guard the throne to the lord
yet, that is what I truly wanted all along
that is why I remain strong, for all of you
a sacrifice, however lonely I may be
so take your time, children, take your time
yet, it would be selfish to call you my children
for we were all from the same Angel, aren't we
yet I've been protecting you all this time
all this while, serving as your strength
your sword and shield, yet I need no recognition
just be safe, and do not be concerned about me
for the Gods are splendid, and now I have seven
the children of the lost, brutalized by this world
my children on the aboveground, siblings in name
do take your time, for I preach in my name

"There's no need for concern, that I may be lonely
if you plan to return, do bring yourself only
and my blade shall in turn, destroy the enemy
and you will then discern, this world's true tragedy
a house for my children, I have built from the bones
of those damned guilt-ridden, they won't leave me alone
I'll keep the door unlocked, for when truth's set in stone
and when you feel landlocked, there's a lord on the throne

Meanwhile, I'll be waiting, forever and ever
in this underground cave, Samsara, forever."
