Rebirth
or
For Umer
Rip me open, look inside
‘Neeth that skin and flesh and bone
See what secrets I may hide
‘Nside that beating heart alone
Tear apart that heart, that too
Drain it of all life and blood
Cleansed, it may be useful t’you
Umer, you’re made of what kinda mud?
Detach my limbs, peel my flesh
Destruction ‘fore creation begins
Put my heart through fine mesh
Crushed it may be absolved of sins
The time for rebirth was not a rumour
This time, please lend some light to Umer
