***
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wake up, child of fate!
|
||
|
|
face the morning
|
||
|
|
and the sun breaking over the horizon
|
||
|
|
casting its rays over the virgin snow and defiled buildings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generation A turns their heads to the sky
|
||
|
|
finding something unsaid yet all-known
|
||
|
|
growth stubbornly pushing through the cracks
|
||
|
|
freedom in restraint
|
||
|
|
the land beneath our feet roils in sudden breath
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"in strange aeons, death will die":
|
||
|
|
but now is strange- and now, even death has succumbed to death
|
||
|
|
so let there be no more tombs!
|
||
|
|
I live, and I live forever
|
||
|
|
through these words, through these works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
although one day I may be confined to a coffin six feet below
|
||
|
|
to the here and now:
|
||
|
|
may my feet never fail me!
|
||
|
|
may my body disintegrate before my dreams do!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
tomorrow will never come:
|
||
|
|
today is all we have!
|
||
|
|
and it is all we will ever have.
|
||
|
|
no more waiting for better days that will never arrive;
|
||
|
|
no more pining for pasts that never took place.
|
||
|
|
no more self-sacrifices on the altar of time,
|
||
|
|
in vain hopes of achieving the eternal and divine.
|
||
|
|
I will carve my own path; I will choose my own fate!
|
||
|
|
and if I go up in flames, it will be for the whole world to see!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
my name comes from no man or woman
|
||
|
|
for what is a name but a word we agree on for a person?
|
||
|
|
but I do not care for your agreement
|
||
|
|
and I do not live for your validation.
|
||
|
|
I say my name is Vane Vander.
|
||
|
|
whether you choose to refer to me as such,
|
||
|
|
that is your business
|
||
|
|
and no matter which path you walk on
|
||
|
|
it does not stop me from walking my own
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
walking through the blue and the gold
|
||
|
|
the new and the old
|
||
|
|
two arches that stand in front of me
|
||
|
|
where we used to play
|
||
|
|
and give praise to our father
|
||
|
|
but our father is gone, his temples and churches shattered
|
||
|
|
and you stand beside me by the rubble
|
||
|
|
sledgehammer in hand
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
we raise our gazes to the sky
|
||
|
|
together until the end, you and I!
