Sinking underneath the ocean floor
With a painful grief like chains of sorrow
Feeling disoriented and lost
Like the death had reached for my heart with its numbing breath
While I was letting the water and earth take advantage of my body
I felt dark shadows and gods from the underworld touch my soul
They imprinted their fire branding upon my hand of clay
The path was established for eternity
And I awakened as one of their kin, reborn in shadow.
