Sinsyne

The human soul is like a wick
Every reincarnation a flame that touches it
Leaves a residue on all it glances with its light
Shining, burning
Charged with the spark of life
Stoked with potential energy
Does this not mean that our keepsakes in turn keep us?
The tessera of our daily lives
We are ghosts haunting the memories we love the most
Perhaps especially before death?

Sinsyne, some time since then
Glad to have crossed paths again with a friend
Wonder if you'll visit, when you've been
If you've come to bargain something shiny again

Objectified by the keepsakes in our pockets occupied
Set aside until this moment, mystified
Open-eyed yet scared inside, petrified and mortified
Why are you afraid to die?
No such thing as goodbye

Before we lose you to the wayside
Return us safely to the daylight
May our heart-sleeves guide us tonight

Fortune favors the bold
To the victor the spoils go
How many stories untold
From the heroes we "know" and love?

Before we lose you to the wayside
Return us safely to the daylight
May our heart-sleeves guide us tonight

Sinsyne, some time since then
Glad to have crossed paths again with a friend
Wonder if you'll visit, when you've been
If you've come to bargain something shiny again

Before we lose you to the wayside
Return us safely to the daylight
May our heart-sleeves guide us tonight
