The Absolution Of What Once Was lyrics

Be prepared:I shall not make way for theeBut thou shalt make way for me!I am not the oneWhom hath planted future's seedsBut reap upon the ground... of this momentSo I may peel away life's clarityAnd slice thy previous intentions into tiny dreamsDemise:An absolution of what once was;Commanding reliefFrom thy commitmentOld sentiments shall have no other useBut to shine like glass on brittle pagesYet, I shall repay your futile effortsThe transience of mourning over definite lossWhilst confronting thy identityThrough deformation past recognitionUntil thou findeth another selfConsistency is so easily cutUnawares by my scytheWhich is known to have stripped shadows from mirror soulsAs I cross thy existenceWith the certainty of fate pinned to my heelsPinned to my heelsSo, be preparedFor I shall not make way for theeBut for a different aftertime that follows me!
