The alarm clock on the table bursts like doom.
\nYes, yes, I know, it's time for me to go\u2026
\nI have lingered too long in this earthly room.
\nOh, give me strength to walk the path I know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The emptied hall of sky begins to pale,
\nThe stars contort in darkness's last faint breath.
\nThe night departs\u2014my final railway trail,
\nA single, massive point on fate's own stave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My life has been an empty, nightmare sleep.
\nThe alarm roars\u2026 Well then, it's time to wake!
\nAs in a frightful tale where joys run deep\u2014
\nWe leave this life, for our return's sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The abyss calls with its serpentine gaze,
\nLights flicker in the smoke of centuries.
\nThe final steps of this bad dream's last phase\u2014
\nAnd all is gone. As if it never was\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drawn by the chasm's cunning, dark allure,
\nI swayed above the yawning, gaping deep,
\nAnd\u2026 recoiled. For, suddenly and pure,
\nA light of unknown kind began to leap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It filled all points of my soul, bleeding, torn,
\nThis bluish light, this cool and potent flame.
\nAbove the abyss, in the quiet morn,
\nI was uplifted, and I rose, reclaimed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Millennia rushed by before my sight,
\nI ruled the mighty Dragons of the Fire,
\nImmortality's sharp point, a sudden, piercing bite,
\nMy blood rang, boiling with a wild desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026I woke. What happened? What was this I saw?
\nA dream? A faint? A vision's swirling stream?
\nThen why this joy, this strength, this sense of law?
\nWhere did the desperation, death's own theme, flee?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This moment I will guard forevermore,
\nThe azure flame still in my blood resides;
\nIt has become one with my destiny's core.
\nThank you, O Lightning! I am Yours! The power abides!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
