Blood Ink for the Book of Life Lyrics

the rarest times, I beseech thee to feel
a new sunrise, seize the night and day
for gainful purpose, I take the sword of Masonic Templers
and without prompt repeat the lines, "I am that I am"
I see the world and take my place upon this time
I see the world, it is not good, and I can see no God
and no hand of Creation, surely my life is my own to decide
to navigate these troubled waters until my life's end
this is a sojourn, there is no destination
take only what you need to get through the journey of this world
unto the next, I face Divinity, in all it's feigned glory
you will not take this world or my dignity from me
I won't be stricken out from the book of life
I pen my name in my own blood, carving my own path
blood ink for the book of life, signing
my own fate, I am my own sacrifice
if this life could be sold as a box on a shelf
I would not pay any price, you could not name any price
what does this world want from me? my blood? (blood loss)
I will meet life on my own terms
this is a sojourn, there is no destination
it is only the journey that matters now
why did we give up the grave for this?
to help the world to see the unlight?
I see you all are seeking truth
don't know where to turn or where to begin
even with the truth surrounding us all
just open your mind's eyes
there is profound truth in life
and a defining truth in death
I have no secrets to sell (lost souls)
I am as lost as you all (lost souls)
