Funeral Begotten The final communion As the obol of Charion is placed In the mouth Viaticum mortis As sustenance As survival into the afterlife As a funeral begotten A mournful procession To gather upon the passing From what death has ripped from the world To those who've touched the essence And those who know only loss For the arms of death Taketh and giveth away Pulvis et umbra sumus Time is the teacher of mourning Experience of loss brings us closer to death To fight death is to live Existence beyond is planted in memories Which transfer into legacy Eram quod es Eris quod sum The mark which the spirit has made while in flesh May be written upon the earth And whence the spirit leaves the body Its mark can remain As a scar or a monument Or forgotten as an eulogy Written in sand Against the winds of time Woe to the spirit, whose funeral was in vain Divinity is in the fallen, whose influences remain Catharsis of being, from a life once flesh A funeral begotten, to honor the life of your death The journey here can begin But here is where the journey may end Under the pale blue light of Azrael Radiant as the light of the moon In the cold night's fog Fathomless as the abyss Whose seas we all may drown Between the devil and the deep blue sea One must find, one must lose Between the earth and the underworld One must transcend Serpent encircling the god of the sun Guiding the journey of death into night Of infinite scales Which adorn patterns in stars And coil around the constellations Sic transit gloria mundi Omnia mors aequat Symbol of Ophidian Helix As sculptures of the cosmos In duality and in balance Forged is essence and DNA Death will come for all Until the god of the cult of the sun returns 8.
