Filled, with sound, only of
the soul.
Thou, purest of thought shall whole.
Through, tones of life,
Thy story shall be told.
Surrounded by life's purest of melodies,
and the wretched stench of dark wasteful weight.
Thou, shalt grasp with all strength,
To try and seize a, pure, hope-filled fate.
Deaf, no sound, except ringing of the ears,
Similar to the bells of hell.
To cry! Such sorrow filled tears,
for so many long years!
Yet, the beauty of light will always return,
especially when,
Thou, is in thy worst of turns.
The peace that is felt,
And the sanity that is held,
Will be the guiding light,
When, Thou, cannot see.
The dark forces will not prevail,
as to a conquering triumph of hell.
Thou, shall prevail!
Through, purity and sound.
OH, the pain thou has suffered!
Tormented!, Mutilated!, Humiliated!
What souls feel in hell,
Thou shalt feel in a life.
Though, the blessings received,
Far exceed,
Any waste! Any weight! Any pain!
Through the tones of life,
All beauty shall be found,
And, in the end,
All beauty will be sound!
