Life So Holding

To the life that holds us all

That's lets us rise and lets us fall

All things of this I ask

To this life that holds a mask

Upon his face, ever small

Oh life that twirls us around

A better one has not yet been found

Although one better has been in thought

For a better one we have not fought

Continuously we hear the unknown sound

The unknown sound surrounds us all

Its pitch does rise as we do fall

To us it sends a silent task

From our hearts we must drink the flask

We must drink the flask of all that makes us fall, all that we appall

Oh, the life's face that is small to behold

A silent whisper can make you fill chilled, cold

Not on meat but in thy soul

You will feel the cold, cold hole

All your plans crumble and unfold

I tell this life to leave us be

To let us flounder in the sea

Leave us be life so condemning

Leave us not your luring traps and holes so submersing

To us give nothing but a single pea

This pea will serve its purpose well

Its secret I have yet to tell

A mere reminder of what not to be

Is all that we need to see

To show us what we did fell

The life that kept us back from eternity

The life that made us believe we were in prosperity

In this life we have been banished and famished

Newly we will fully rise no longer able to be blandished

We now have full clarity

Oh that we can live a true life!

'Ever again to be in this imposter's strife

Now we will rise and fall at our own will

No longer being coaxed and hoaxed to take a pill!

From this life we'll rise with our freedom rife

Oh masked life that we bid no farewell

What is masked we can and will tell

No more, no more shall we know not of you

No more, no more will we not know our friends few

Free, no longer under your spell, we ring the liberty bell.
