Within Chanting Waters
Product of purge
And rapture
Questioning matters of fate
Burgeoning youth stumble
Grow humble but mighty

Vestiges linger
Dying beneath the skin
Only survivors
Exalt a falling sky

Anxiously forging ahead
We wonder, in this state
Are we the whole, or am I?

Vestiges linger
Rotting beneath the skin
Only survivors
Exalt a falling sky

These cell walls
Ignite and perform
Draw life in
To stimulate growth
Time runs thin, ‘neath ripple and roil
I grow stronger

Raise eyes to morning, raise eyes
Ascend in mourning, raise eyes
Raise eyes to morning, raise eyes
New era dawning, raise eyes
