ASCENSION
Written by fileg
My father’s passing brought me to this place
An unthanked servant of an absent king
ascends the steps with ashes on his face
A thousand years of fruitless withering
The truth can’t be denied. This is my fate
an unthanked servant of an absent king
Outside the shadow gathers at the gate
All that begins in my time is - the end
The truth can’t be denied. This is my fate
I cannot shed a tear or seem to bend
lest destiny destroy me like a knife
All that begins in my time is - the end
It asks for all I am; my sons, my wife
And I accept the bargain, as a man
lest destiny destroy me like a knife
My life lies like a bridge across this span
My father’s passing brought me to this place
And I accept the bargain, as a man
ascends the steps with ashes on his face
