I am out of step with life,
harmony is missing
A bell rings, I hear thunder
A child smiles, I see bad teeth
I step inside a church, the sun
through stained glass burns my skin
I cannot kneel to pray, I have forgotten how
When I try, the words cut like razor blades
through my mind, blood clouds my eyes
How am I supposed to find
something that cannot be seen
Food rots in my hand before I can eat
I thirst, water boils at my touch
I have walked the land unseen
Like the spirit I seek for too long
Looking for the promise given, yet unfulfilled
To change my role as the Angel of Death…
