Defiance 2

EPITAPH TO DEATH


I defy the morning rising
Though I saw the setting sun
-
I defy that night is coming
Even though my day is done
-
I defy all that is spoken
But seek truth, where ‘ere its from
-
I defy the masses massing
Knowing not their right nor wrong
-
I defy all of creation
Yet I think I do belong
-
I defy the very tempest
Though I know I am not strong
-
I defy all life’s illusions
Yet love what they're built upon
-
I defy that death will take me
It's long lonely journey on
-
I defy the very moment
When all things return to one
-
I defy the state of nothing
Which is why I wrote this song
-
As my spirit shall be fighting
-
Still defiant
-
On and on
-
When all around
Is dressed in silence
-
After everything
-
Has gone
