Funeral for a Wizard - Funeral for a Wizard

I crawl my way through this putrid womb
The smell of rotting incense burns my eyes

Towards the light, I pray for my rebirth
The flesh consumes me my new life is formed

The ground quakes beneath me as I slither out
My astral birth sends terror throughout the world

Bone and muscle contort into abysmal shapes
Forgotten gaze, a smile forms and cracks my face

Eyes fully formed, at last I see the end
At my command, an army of the dead
RISES

Fully born, I fly above my battle field
Gabriel blows, his trumpets one last time

Flesh consumed, the living run in terror
My death reaches far and wide

Capitals burn, with deafening silence
All that remains, a bloody visage to me

End of days, laughter breaks the void
My life's work, my happiness is unbound

Left alone, floating through an empty world
No more light, no more darkness
An empty hole lost and forgotten

Left to pursue nothing
Left alone
Silence carries an uncaring god on apathetic wings

Burn the dead in flameless fire
Haunting those that still rise

My hate burns bright
A light to snuff out those still hopeful
Death impregnates the earths crust like a foul stench

My blood boils over in the dying night
An urge dies in me
My altitude drops
Light creeps in through the cracks in my soul
I feel a sleep come over me

My eyes open to a foul sight
Ringing in my ears brings me to my knees
My hallow a scorched hole
Notes flutter down to the ground
A failed spell sizzles out of existence
Thoughts of hell and happiness fade like a sick dream
All is gone
The power escapes my mind

Their taunting scorches my shattered pride
As a near by town mocks my failure
Caustically I rise, carelessly I stumble
As the encore of my life begins
I Sludge through the town, a fallen angel
I Slink to the bell tower, a forgotten failure

Ascending up the splintered steps of the bell tower
A place for those to gather
A hidden hatred rises
A true disdain for all of mankind
Hatred for self forms
I hit the pinnacle
A sum of all my many works
I stare upon a sunny world
Knowing I can never destroy
My feet straddle the edge
I now know there's no place for me

I leap from the edge
Crashing down to earth
My carnage scraped away in a funeral for a wizard
