The Ritual

The story of the world taking form anew
Now redesigned
Condemned to death and reimagined for me
Under a crying sky
It's pulling me under
As I sink into my resting place
Unearthing all my own long-buried mistakes
They're what is left, what now remains
The story is unfolding
And I fear the turn of the page
The chapters following
The end that culminates
Redesigned
With heroes left behind
I'm surrendering this time
That I'll one day be revived
Bear the weight I'm faced with
Moments I have wasted
I'm searching for something more
Than the life I knew before
Stare upon the faceless
Those I trust my fate with now
Now
Looking on the world fading from my view
Giving way to narrations that aren't my own
And the sun will not ever come up
And the plague of today will remain for tomorrow
All my trust, now, is placed in you
In the hands that sickness would answer to
And when mourning had finally come
You erased the days since taken place, those following
The story is unfolding
And I fear the turn of the page
The chapters following
The end that culminates
Redesigned
With heroes left behind
