To Fall From Heaven's Heights

In a blink
I am ready
Oh I want to be free
I long to touch heaven
And I rise into the sky
As an empty sky waits
Life is threatening
I spent life wanting to die
Surely waiting to die
And this very moment
When I long to fly
Escape the limits
Imposed upon me
I hear all the screaming
Saying that I'll fail
The noise so deafening
As the thunder cracks
And the wind blows
I experience a reckoning
My mortal flesh is falling
And the world closes her eyes
With an impact upcoming
But death is a lie
And the flesh a disguise
I've worn a mask too long
And the impact into the ground
Has not killed me, no
But freed me from this task
To live until I am ready
To die so easy
To live, an impossible act
No actor could have performed
I am free
