Faustus

Buried is the key to life
Kept away from you and I
Far beyond and overhead
Where the angels fear to tread

I sought the edge of all that’s known
Our kind denied, so long ago
Within, desire, now given voice
Resounding cries, once silent

Buried is the key to life
It’s too late for you and I
After all the plans have failed
And there’s nothing left to build

I felt the urge but could not see
The guiding hand that blinded me
Soon I’ll emerge from violent sea
To seek the end I long for

A means to escape from decline
The never-ending march of time
Ascent, beyond the highest climb
Where truth and life entwine

I saw the end in front of me
With auburn hair
She smiled and laid in front of me
Without a care
Desire, as yet unknown to me
I did convey
And all I am and ever will be
Was cast away
Right there
