Destiny or Doom

As we are searching for the doorway
We all enter into a locked room
Wherein every step we take
Will leave prints in snow
If destiny is ignored, we will all fall
As the pristine landscape is stained
We all desire the softest beauty
Needing comforts of sanctum
In the cycles that are ever present
Where the Orphic truths appear
As our lives of flesh decay
Our wisdom grows
Finding transcendence in our frozen state
A context for the knowledge abandoned
Emotional upheaval, walls are falling
Existence is cast into the absurdity
We no longer hear destiny calling
So refuse the judgment of fate
Find your purpose, fervently
Or be cast into nothingness
With every new sorrow
And suffer every new pain
After a lifetime of struggle
Comes a reckoning, a harvest
It will wound, yes it will kill
In every moment and thought
As reality falls from our minds
With every day lost and dreams tossed
We burn from inside and fail to rise
Forever more
