Gone Is My Former Resolve Lyrics - Within The Ancient Forest - Paramaecium

The dead who crave not life, I know not why they lie there 

floating. They lie devoid of thought, bereft of life and drown in sorrow. 

Sometimes they scream as life is deprived of them. Life is no 

dream and death holds no final end. We all must die. 

Hacking away with the sword at the earth, at the mounds of soil, 

I try to recover the dead but get naught for my toil. The corpses 

lie around me in various states of decay and no matter how hard I 

try I can't bring life to their day. Even by touch of the sword they 

refuse to awaken. And I know they seek life not. And I know 

they like to rot forever. Even their lives were of no worth if in 

their eyes they hate the truth even if it sets them free. Now is not 

the time to revive. My mind revolts at this revelation. How can it 

be that they lie calmly in their graves, resisting life as it pulls at 

their heart strings; their cold eyes ever rejecting the truth? 

I run with naught in mind but to leave that hateful place behind. I 

enter darkened earth where De-syr has waited for me from the 

day of my birth. I cross the bridge of grace along a well worn 

path to satiate my flesh within the one they call De-syr.
