The heart of flesh has taken root inside* The light of life has been injected Like circuitry across the expanse of space and time Another darkened soul has been connected Soli Deo Gloria You can't save yourself Enemies are rising up against the light Yet it will go on shining even in the darkest night Lifted up from the ocean's tomb His body modified, surgically improved Given a heart that never stops beating Given lungs for underwater breathing To return to the ocean floor To walk among the dead below Despite the flesh, light will outpour And in darkness hope will grow The ocean echoes back the music of eternity The blackest sky gives way to perfect beauty Requiem Aeternam Soli Deo Gloria
