Metempsychosis
soft as velvet, silk like wings
hard as steel they hit my skin
how much pain this longing brings
to wait for you hurts deep within
hope's a word so long since lost
my heart has turned to stone
this yearning haunts me like a ghost
pain tells me i'm alone
angel in black, time's running so fast
spread your wings so solemnly, feeling home at last
flying with you through eternity
lift me up with arms so strong, give me a chance to fly
liberty waited for it so long, now i no longer have to cry
