Drift away
And of serenity in the abyss of stress
To carry the circles of timeless adventures
As the brink of knowledge collapses in ventures
Towards destination of gritty merciless
Knowing the old values as numbers of the past
To seek remembering as wisdom takes over
As a button indents into something clever
That lounges past midnight into seismic blast
Breathe the bitter cold air to warm the inner shell
As alive gets alive, as dead carries the dead
Decision to be made, but only by your thread
Choosing the rightful path towards the kinship's hell
That chaos sets drifting to a new marathon
As new design of life in the disgraceful dawn
