Lifeless, Deathless

You, alone, hear my words
To others, I remain unknown
You'll give yourself to me
Yourself to me
In time

Present, all-encompassing
Your flesh and bone succumb
Lifeless, deathless
Your mind, shadow folded
Shadow folded
Lifeless, deathless

Your flesh and bone succumb
Your mind, shadow folded
Shadow folded
Lifeless
Death

Inner thoughts, subject to control
Wants, needs, dissipating
Not man nor God
Reverie or parasite
A shapeless shape

My will, a tongue's caress
Language beyond words
My will, your ultimate truth
Your powerlessness, eternal

The light inside you will fade in time
In time
As you succumb
Revealing a world of fulfillment and purpose
Enslavement
Enslavement
A living shadow
Living shadow
To others, I remain unknown
Inside you, I remain forever
