We drank the infinite fire
until each cell ignited by the melodic
nervous train of dutiful messengers
carrying our story in pieces
for the deliverance of truthful passages
we learned of conquering the void
we learned of building from scratch
an ageless world within
of free spirits and old souls
nurturing opportunities of redemption
redemption
we learned to read the sentiment of death
we learned to write the sentiment of life
for the neverdaresay and neverdaresung
human dignity is real and so is the genocide of it
we are all enslaved until we decide we will be free
it is a human right to have fear
it is natural to be numbed by it
but it is too a human responsibility to face fear
and grow the awareness which challenges it
a sense of humour can be powerful
to transmute misery into light
to spark the twinkling in our eye
so we drank the infinite fire
until each cell ignited by the melodic
