CHAPTER III: REBIRTH

Beyond the dark surrounding lies ahead a light (Feels safer here)

Beyond the past once known I set upon my sight (Under the shadows)

Crawling from the womb of the Earth, I rise above from the deep (don’t leave me here)

Conceived in this virgin birth, I wake from my dying sleep (don’t go to the light)

I open my eyes to see what lies ahead,

what hides ahead,

Just open my eyes, don’t fear the light,

I must let go, I must let go!

Open my eyes to see a burning light in the sky,

So bright and blinding, the light consumes me alive

Shivering as the night falls, I must turn back,

Back to my safety, back to the dark

Stumbling through forest, so weak and exposed,

helpless fetal body, gnaw the umbilical tether,

Alone save the moon, I turn to her

Turn to her, my Athena

She silently whispers to me: “you must let go”

As I walk upon the path, I see a reflection upon the water,

a stranger staring back at me

Turn back, you will surely die,

Let go, you can end it all,

Go back, you were safer there

I can’t take it anymore!

Give up, there is nothing left

Run fast, you are gonna die

I can’t, someone save me before I am torn apart

I must let go before I fall deeper

Losing all my mind, falling faster (I must hold on)

A thousand burning eyes, watching as I fall deeper (I can’t let go!)

Demons invading me, Surrounding me, Strangling me

Oh, wake me up, Don’t wake me up

I’m hopelessly trapped forever (WAKE UP!)

I can’t hold on, I must let go

And crucify the ego

Reborn, I am

Reborn I am!
