The Man In The Iron Mask

Blood of a God
Soul of a King
Writing my mind among the stars
From a heart that never bleeds

Screaming from within
The belly of the beast
Noosed to the laws of blood and flesh
Subsequently Suffocating for life and breath

Deeper than a man
illusive to touch or senses
Its there for every eye to see
When the outside looks in

At that place...
Abodes a mans pure essence
His true face
Fighting a savage battle

To be truly released
Gnashing his teeth in disgust and agony
For the world and reality
Decreed laws to persecute and oppress him

Life wants to tell him how to feel
Society pleads with him to be righteous
But poverty and lust feed him a different speak
leading spirit and flesh to tear one another apart inside

For spirit is inherited
It can't be taught or tamed
Allow true inner joy to manifest into flesh
For the world continually changes

But the man within...

Lives unto eternity...
