All Life Begins in the Dark

All life begins in the dark
Raw skin and blind eyes
Pierced in all sides by waves
Fist clenched beneath the cape

I screamed at the top of my lungs
I spat out my first slag
The light burned my world
In the folds of a lost past

Between the stars are the marks
Free are the facts I create
From my clay I shape the lines
To sharpen my own lance

I'm the diamond that is born
And the master must give form
To a substance chained by time
Which must perfect its chime
As all life begins in the dark

Narrow molds infest
Towers and their owners
This misery must be repaired
By their laws, heart is broken

The wheel of fortune turned
I tumbled, my back to the unknown
In other words I found wisdom
My hands in truth burned

Between the stars are the marks
Free are the facts I create
From my clay I shape the lines
To sharpen my own lance

I'm the diamond that is born
And the master must give form
To a substance chained by time
Which must perfect its chime
As all life begins in the dark

Dum pendebat, dum pendebat filius

To the quest I devote my fight
I savor the earthly bite
I let the clock tame me
At last I can breathe
At last I can breathe

Between the stars are the marks
Free are the facts I create
From my clay I shape the lines
To sharpen my own lance

I'm the diamond that is born
And the master must give form
To a substance chained by time
Which must perfect its chime
As all life begins in the dark

As all life begins in the dark
