I fled on wings of starlit hue
across the golden sky
Up into the beyond I flew
watching my dreams go by

Shadows echoed love lost dreams
as memories of my past
Obscuring visions of my trust
all characters I knew last

The love that I so longed for
the beauty that I would need
Said live life as emotion
set forth by a holy creed

In battered rags of ancient might
my god sat on his throne
Viewing me in tortured sight
turning my sins to stone

My life passed on its silent way
asking of him just why
For now it's gone and left of me
I know what it's like to die
