Desire Beyond Life

In your small room
You look at those same walls
At that window
That gives you all your life

You never liked that window
You always thought it was evil
Or that's what you were told

You decide you want to look outside
...Walking very scared
Close your eyes before you look
Open them

Searing lights
Blue skies
Lush green grass

Look at the children
Adults talking
Sense the love around them
Feel the joy of that world

Look back into your dark room
You feel an ominous presence
Leave your dark room
To enter a dark hall

Look for your master
Ask him to leave the dark hall
And come to your dark room
Ask him to look at that world

But instead he cowers in fear
Ask nicely if you can visit that world
He says no, so very hastily
Ask and demand why

He gives you no reply
And closes the window
Sits you down
Tells you to never go there again

You grow unhappy
Yell at him and say what you want
He just simply says "never again"
With more anger and hate

You can't resist that world
Run out your dark room
Into the dark hall
And open those huge doors

The sun
The sky
The people

...Hurt

You feel as if death just met you
You burn everywhere
You bleed from every inch of skin
You are finished in a happy place

Your master watches you die
The slaves ask what to do
Your master tells them to close the doors
And he shows you no pity
As the doors close
