Weight of Impermanence

...AND SO I WALK AMONG SAND AND RUIN (Ghoul)

In the blessed moments we should cherish we can feel it linger

In the home of the herded elders my inquiries for wisdom met with
Wandering eyes and thoughts and my name confused for a second cousin's

Watching life slip away
Despair in tranquility
Watching life slip away front row in my happy place

On a voyage through the bush as
A wounded deer is mauled and left to frost

OUTRIGHT FAILURE TO COMPREHEND MORTALITY (Ghoul)

Overwhelmed by the weight of impermanence
Though it's all that gives us life
How can one cope with the inherent tragedy
Without our elemental rights?

Overwhelmed by the weight of impermanence despite no routine sacrifice
