Escape Velocity

At twenty five thousand miles an hour you’re lighting up the sky
Hypersonic breakout from your last and future life
Relativistic calculations distance time and speed
A conscious and ballistic object
Can you reach escape velocity

I will fly my hands become my wings
I will fly and rise upon the wind
I will fly into the great unknown
I will fly and I will find a place I can call home

Like the spear of Odin aiming at that unknown place
A certainty of purpose makes you think you can escape
Escape the ruthless narcissist you know you will become
Traveling faster than your thoughts
Can you reach escape velocity

I will fly my hands become my wings
I will fly and rise upon the wind
I will fly into the great unknown
I will fly and I will find a place I can call home

Leviticus reimagined and rewritten and renamed
Restored to full its potency restored to its full rage
Genetic immunity from the weapons in your hands
Weapons for new ritual sacrifice to cleanse a land

I will fly my hands become my wings
I will fly and rise upon the wind
I will fly into the great unknown
I will fly and I will find a place I can call home

At twenty five thousand miles an hour you’re lighting up the sky
