Quest for Immortality - Waylander

An ominous grey blanket moves with case across the sky

And I, sat here, I wish that I could fly

If wishes were nations, then it’s I who’d rule the world

My subjects mankind?

I’d scatter and hurl!

Embrace the words of wisdom, thus fill the armory

Sharpened tongues like keenest edge cuts so deep

Rip down the hall of mirrors with subtlety and guile

Re-humanize mankind from role of sheep

Immortal am I — No fire, no sun, nor moon shall burn

Immortal am I — No water, no lake, nor sea shall grown

I will weep not, like the willow tree, relentless in my aim

Ascension towards divinity, no remorse, guilt or shame

And while I rise, I leave behind

Ideas of mundane conscience

The fickle wants of humankind

Presents to me a nonsense

Infantile, the children rape

And in a frenzy feed

Some people cry for vengeance

But there will be no need

Reprisals will be merciless

Of this there is no doubt

Negligence, the vilest crime

But I will find you out
