Labyrinth of Ill / Exigency

Amidst the grave of existential plight My faith in rags, uncertain sight The queries loom, unanswered still As I navigate this labyrinth of ill Though misgivings abide My denial reside My heart in pain, a flicker of hope remains Throughout the night, throughout the fire I will not change, I´ll be your silent guide Patience, come to my side Come be patient, come to my side Patience, my guiding light As I wander the uncertain night Throughout the night I will not change I´ll be your guide Fervor lost, my heart bereft In the blustering of doubt and despair I've lost my grasp on what was just Yet a glimmer of deliverance is here Though misgivings abide My denial reside Though my path may waver, and I may stray Love and community, will lead the way In the embrace of compassion, I shall find peace Hope and unity, shall never cease
