you took my hand, above this sad world
a thousand tortured souls littering the ground below
each one, face warped, melting dry earth
wind blows ash, inhale the scorching air
cracked skin, blood breaks blisters
even I couldn't find beauty in this wretched sanctuary
denunciation filled, archaic wasteland, guiltless jaws
grip into my inner most self, this is my most selfish act
with your gift of ascension I won't even look back
not for one innocent being, not for one screaming child
I, the one who doesn't deserve to be free
I, yours, rightfully theirs
sincerly signed my pathetic little heart.
