Rite of Passage

Dunes of sand moved by wind, Falcons watch from above Overseer swarms of slaves, Struggling for one common goal Pulling stone after stone, Pyramids for their dead Reaching for the sky above, Carrying on those who have left Embalming fluids, Enter my body, My organs stored, In canopic jars They wrap me up, I'm so anxious, Their caring hands, Caress me, my... My body left for others to care after My soul destined to drift forever after While my remains are kept on the earth In stars is where I'll find rebirth Dunes of sand, moved by wind, Every grain has proper place Every grain in secrecy, Whispers things that it had seen Ancient force, from far beyond, Even stronger than the gods Even they, at their prime, Had to kneel to stronger will Something went, Terribly wrong, I'm in the dark, There is no sound I cannot feel, My arms or legs, Only the fear, Inside my head I've been here, for way too long Where are the stars where I belong? My body left for others to care after My soul is trapped inside forever after I hear voices, whispers of the slain All the lives I'd taken, or are those the grains? Priests see this, they order my body away Back to the dunes with him, throw him away! Afterlife... denied, revoked (gods) Older gods, in truth they spoketh (why?) We won't allow you with us, you shall perish You were born of sand, so to sand you shall return now
