Ashes to Flesh - Axamenta

Ashes to Flesh - Axamenta
Blessed and cursed with the phoenix's gift
Death and birth arrive in one instant so swift
The ending of a former life
The beginning of feeling alive
Rotating shackles determine place and time
To create two endlings one malign
The skin is burnt to cinder
New flesh is born unhindered
I am not one solemn entity
Going through a myriad of conversions
But a whole entirety
Unbound by the strings of time
So one man's breath is another's death
A premonition that's been often said
Incarnating eternally
Choosing one identity
Sometimes awakening in a foreign land
Once one drowned in water now one in sand
Believing what the eyes can see
A nation in atrophy
I am not one
Solemn entity
Of conversions
But a whole entirety
Unbound by the strings of time
I am not one
Solemn entity
Of conversions
But a whole entirety
But a whole entirety
Going through a myriad of conversions
But a whole entirety
Unbound by the strings of time
Once a broken dirty
Through a myriad of conversions
