Deathless

Coated in ash
A face
Eyes closed
Taken too soon
By those too scared
To see the light

It poured from within
In waves
A light that shines
To this day
A candle flame
That’ll never burn down

You kick and scream
Tear your soul
Devoted to doctrines
Less than a thousand years old
You kill and hurt
Because you can’t control

You can take my life
But I am Deathless

You will never erase
The love and grace
The pain and joy
The life lived
A life that mattered
A life I carry
On my shoulders
Every day
You will never erase
The sorrow and grief
The hope, the truth
You will never take
My heart, my soul

You can take my life
But I am Deathless

Bury us deep
In a tomb
For the years to keep
The heart still beats
Beneath the ground
It pulses still beneath your feet
It becomes the earth
To blossom anew

You can take my life
But I am deathless
I am deathless
