Description
It has been a year or two,
But here—I am safe now.
Everything is over; and
Yet, I know not how.

I watch, for I can hear the
King, crying out for me.
He chokes back a dying
Prayer before I am let be.

Every piece—every part
Of me wants to touch him.
But please, don't tell me
That I cannot sing his hymn.

But there is another song;
And to me, it is stronger.
Stronger than the strongest
Sword, which I hold no longer.

Shattering the skies and
Then the earth is my king's
Wild and valiant eagle, as
He cries in feathery wings.

Beneath his down moans
The wind over this town.
He sees through the ages
And flies in wait to drown.

I can see my king, for he
Looks toward the sighing.
He holds the eagle toward
Him flying; all this, as I

lay dying.

Please don't tell me I am
Dead, for I still need time.
I am lonely here without
My king and eagle's chime.

I listen to their loving words
Before the eagle takes flight.
I cannot let my brother go
And walk towards the light.

Please! I had so much more!
I will do anything to be here
Again, with the royalty and
The bird's words with my ear.

I am the strongest sword,
But I can no longer stab.
I have force upon myself
A wound that never scabs.

Nothing is true, but yet
Everything is permitted.
I am the blade that never
Kills and never acquitted.

Goodbye, king; farewell
My reason for my life.
The temple cries beside
And alongside my strife.

But most of all, I bid an
End to my king's eagle.
I now dance in your chime
And drown in the regal

sound of eagles crying

as I lay dying.
