The Smoke of The Flame
Maybe its the vine because it wines and tightens
and it constricts and lifts
thats the feel of the feeling
the sound of the orange peeling
and the inner surface revealing
maybe its the amber and the ember
in September
the burn of the world, that burns as it turns
the ash of the lash, of a flash, that never lasts
you burn but turn to nothing
no mold, no gold, not a glass or a see thing
i think you are seeping, and i know you are aching
but once you were a king, and the throne is wating
the white sponge is dirty
in fact, it is black
the soul is corrupt and theres no turning back
the light is green and theres no going back
the enemy attacks within and you better watch your back
what good is a surface if its core is dissipated
but the muck of life has been long since created
cre, ated, she ate it, they ate it, the fruit
of wisdom, from knowledge, led by the brute
see, knowlege is power, but only of the behold
you never knew, but now, you are naked and cold
my soul was once firm, but now, it is draping
like the cloth of the man, my creator, was wearing
and this flame, it is burning
and its rage is urging, urging, urn
put the ashes in the urn, its time for someone elses turn
the voice is a whisper, but the sound is a lot crisper
i wonder why but only i can hear her
crying and sobing and lying in doubt
doubt, doubt, youve gotta let me out
humanity inherited sin, thats just how it begins
but blood met flesh, for you and my sins
see, temptation met adaptation in the seed of creation
living, and breathing, of a whole new generation
bring me some water, from the sea, of the dark
and put out my fire, and save me, like the ark
