On this fire-breathing beast we hope, we pray
Gird against the cold misery of passing time
Twine fingers through knots that will not fray
Etched hearts' walls with this eternal rhyme :
To the grave let us walk together, dear
Press your paper lips to mine as all goes gray
A lifetime of blood-sworn promise made to revere
The cold decay of entropy fought to delay
Press the fire between into hungering dark
Name purpose on the race to nothing
The sweat of your bliss fuel unyielding spark
Truths for this journey ours for the asking
Tame this fickle pass of circumstance
Your gaze I hold with softest hands
Defy convention with this maddened dance
Sing joy to answer serious demands
I still believe in serendipity
For your unseen face waiting still
Hoping damage allow me give you fully
What flesh transmits from eager will.
