Rapture (Interlude from my thoughts 2)

Eternal black
no front or back
no light no fire
to salve the burning desire

If this is Oblivion
If this is salvation
Then this is damnation
and I want out

The waterfalls hide the rings
Dante's skull stares at me
I cannot find the way back
and this is the one thing I lack

No hope, no love, no end
no you, no me, no us
no God, no heaven, no hell
only one life
live it well

Eternal black
time I lack
flip the glass
run the sand again

The mouth to hell
is solid ice, the
gates to heaven are
rusted still

Stuck in the apathetic
every life is worth it
from the ashes, I'm arisen
like a phoenix
I'm fire-driven

Lift the veil,
recede the black,
I'm not leaving
without my life back.

End to end,
time flows and bends,
outside the dimension
of Oblivion.
