Naked Bones

Lying in the abyss of the earth with a shaking voice,
I cry into the abyss of the heart..
Calling the wretched,
ragged shelter,
tattered heads...
Calling with a dying voice,
Naked Bone...!

The abyss are made my home and loneliness my companion...
Sorrow now becomes my breath
Oo Naked Bone...!

The hearts are steel...
Ears are opaque...
Hear, they hear not
Feel, they feel not...
Oo Naked Bone...!

The doors are closed...
The windows see no more and the music makes no melodious sound...

Naked Bone...
I shall rise...
Out of the abyss...
Out of the darkness...
And go find a home
Where I will dwell till eternity...
I'm illuminated...
I'm freed...!
The Naked bone in the flesh of man.
