I AM ALPHA

I lived lost in the echoes of my past,

begging each day for a withered future.

Oh temperance, blaspheming against the human heart,

I lost my self, contemplating the essence of death,

my pupils are cloudy from looking deep in pain,

my will shrivel, every step in this path is to nowhere.

Lost in hope, faith lay dead on prayer.

Oh loneliness, embrace me and let me kiss your thorns,

I wonder myself if I lived sunk in hope.

I became in a shadow of myself

away from the false bright of god.

I buried my soul in this vale of wails.

Lost in hope, faith lay dead on prayer.

Ungrateful souls, noble sacrifices, vicious eyes in an erring world. Misshapen goodness,

shameful selfishness, sacred garments, enraged dogma.

Oh fortitude, the well has been filled with our sins,

We’ll drink today from the golden cup of grief.
