A New Onset

A sunken ember brights deep in your eyes
I find your soul is tortured under death's embrace
I find there are just cries when once there was light
With ambition, for power you craved and now you’re in a grave
Repentance entwines you and enforces its weight
All that you’ve done wrong comes back to collect
You shiver at the sight of the past as it faces you, claiming reckoning

A new onset waiting to begin
Your time has come
Now that you have gone
The sun shines even more
My conscience is cleansed
And so is the world you left behind

Six feet under lies my trust
Buried deep inside your corpse
A burning ember brighted, and between tears it died
I find there are just cries when once there was light
With ambition, for power you craved and now you’re in a grave
Repentance entwines you and enforces its weight
All that you’ve done wrong comes back to collect
You shiver at the sight of the past as it faces you, claiming reckoning

A new onset waiting to begin
Your time has come
Now that you have gone
The sun shines even more
My conscience is cleansed
And so is the world you left behind
