about

----------
And so, we begin as all began --- sentenced to another term upon the surface of the Earth.

The shade of this former man, as has become familiar to us in its death, is returned to the world some six years later as a newborn infant to jubilant parents. His former life, his old self and all of his memories fade instantly as the cold air of the physical realm greets his newborn flesh. Better luck next time H….

lyrics

In the glowing tongues of flame
I became born again
In the rubble of their next war
I’m a brokenhearted man
With broken hearted hands
In the ashes of the Empire

Through a cavernous void I fall
To the summit of all life
Where angels sing believe me
Snow and rainwater flow
Over rocks to pastures new
Where you and I become the morning dew

Fly alongside me, I am once again
Fly alongside me my friend

Take back to skies again
A restful, peaceful end
Where angels sing and dark clouds form
Will I be welcomed friend?
Despite this bitter end
A life well lived is mine for sure?

Fly alongside me, I am once again
Fly alongside me my friend

In the glowing tongues of candles, I am but a flame
In the rubble of their next war, I am born again
In the ashes of the Empire; a world never the same
Peace upon the continent, though fragile it remains
From a brokenhearted woman, I take my father’s name
As cold and crying infant, I am once again.

(Baby Don’t You Worry ‘Bout Me….)
