Sechem - In Search of Immortality

How can I ever transcend in life
And make my name survive?
Dispute entangled in our eyes

Those who came after the gods
Keep trying to win this
Battle against time

Let your brush
Spill over the veil
In black, in red
The stroke of perpetuity

Place your heart above the echoes of the sages
Under the silver star
Your message can even be stronger than time
Write your words and live forever

Some pass away as others stay
Death’s an expected fate
To conquer eternity’s all we’ve searched

Forgotten faces, voices gone
No one can see now
Their monumental efforts

Their fatuous actions
Leave them blind

Silence surrounds
Their wealthy night

Tombstones might be tough
But the sand can cover up
Your attempts to
Reach the afterlife

Take the chance to draw the world with your hands
It will be your heritage
Leave your mark on this path and go far beyond
To the limits of the immortal
