Aram Stefanian - From Ashes to Ashes

You got caught in an imperceptible net of time
Sold on ghostly existence from daybreak till twilight
To the yawning heaven you're trying hard to climb
Scared at the hollow sound of the cold ebony night
In the lap of the nameless gods you feel defenceless
Like an organic robot with underdeveloped brain
You cannot outwit the unfeeling kiper to remain deathless
A rapid jump from ashes to ashes, and you're feeling no pain
Like an aerial mesh, time hovers around the humans
Having no wings, it can fly both leisurely, and fast
It doesn't care about the fight between angels and demons
Impersonal and ruthless, unafraid of solitude, it shall last

Aram Stefanian
