One heart silenced by the oppressive veil of of the afterlife
A silence brought upon without warning
And in this silence, a new life has been lost
The mother is stricken
To know something not apart of you has been abducted from the living
Time lengthens its grasp and memories are forgotten
The world has once again become beautiful
With its abundant majesty, another seeks to revel
And again, their pleas are silenced by the obsidian hand
The engine of life has faultered once more
Hath not this been the action of a malevolent power?
Hath that which we have worshipped foresaken us?
Even within the intangible void, we are assaulted by silence
A silence that bends all of reality to a will of imposition
The virus has yet to surface even with all our ills
Curses ring out in desperate penetration
Does thou still praise?
I leave thou unanswered
For nothing has elated this world
Just as others deign to violence, the silence is respected
The blood is shed
The bones are broken
And the lives are confiscated
Relinquish thy qualms of this place
For a genesis has surfaced once more
Oh joyous celebration shall ensue thee
Even in loudest cheer
The silence descends once more
Anew this vicious cycle returns
Absent of hope
Abesnt of light
Absent of life
