and so we are begining,
and hope to ascend
Jacob's latter strung,
with callousness we rend.
And the war of the mind, cold and grey,
running forth from a river, meant for us,
a pale steed rising, fleeing from the day....
....and the stable yard ar full of lies
and truths yet untold.
and for all who want to cry, tell them.
and those against one who tries, fight them
and for those who attempt to, help them
for all who come, shall not fall
but for those that run, he is waiting.
The scyth is swinging, cutting like a knife.
Souls are bleeding
crying in vain-Belov'ed not found
changed within, alls lost again.
The pain begins.
The pagans cry not alone
for the song sings to the soul,
and the soul speaks to all....
The dance remains the same,
only the dancers change.
The forest is burning and we are the flame
who knows why we are so
...but forever we will..
of this we know...

Some deep thought in this one. You summed it up well in the last three lines..."but forever we will"... speaks volumes.

Good job.

And after-drunkeness of soul
Succeeds the glory of the bowl -
An idle longing night and day
To dream my very life away
