Patriarchs

Old wisdom shines like light
Across the void of time
Old words fight decay
From foolish minds
Ages die like fire
From the falling rain
As our patriarchs
Smile and become the Earth

Fire and rain
Strip me to my bones
As I know my name
And claim my forefather's heart

Fire and rain
Wash the Earth anew
As my forefathers and I
Rise from ashes
