Depth to Depth
From warm depths I rise
Stretching to embrace this life
Bloody from the fight
Impatient I grow
Searching for carnal pleasure
Meaningless folly
Resolved with passion
Seeking to conquer the world
Shouldering its weight
Patient I retire
Striving for significance
Wisdom now prevails
In cold depths I lie
Straining to accept the end
Shed this bloody frame
