My Declaration - Tethra

I’m watching the time pass

I’m watching my dreams die

The abyss shows that the child’s grown

Apathy, reigns supreme

In the abyss

I know in my heart

I am greater than this

What could have been

What should have been

Regret plagues me

I have passion

Despite all this pain

I’ve heard my calling

The only master I will obey

I’m watching the stars rise

They weigh on my conscience

Will I be a guiding light?

Will I be forgotten?

Vitality, reigns supreme

When we are strong

I feel in my heart

This is where I belong

What could have been

What should have been

Never again!

I have passion

Despite all this pain

I’ve heard my calling

The only master I will obey

How much time before they

I’m relinquinshing fear

I’m resurrecting hope

I must not hear the naysayers

The ones disillusioned by

Rage

A self-projection of all they could

Never be!

You can live with your weak mind

Stay the hell away from me!

(You can live with your weak mind,)

(But stay the hell, away,)

From me!

Oh, how this world has beat me down

Ascending further from the ground

Oh, how this world has beat me down

, and rise above it all

Ascending further from the ground

, I’m above it all

As I sit here, with this pen and paper

I’m writing words that mean nothing, yet everything

My God, I swear to you, I will see this through

Morning will come again, the sun will rise

These words are my memories, telling stories of a live once lived

This is my vow, living life out loud

This is my declaration

These words

Radiating through my screams

Manifested through my dreams

I have love, I have passion

Despite all this pain

I’ve heard my calling, the only master I will obey

This is my declaration, built from my foundation

Passion flows through my veins
