Soldat of life

The Call

I see the task set before me,
Walking along a path already made.
The lights go out one after another,
A cemetary on my left with eerie lights.
Sensing souls all around me,
To keep them away I cannot.

At home my thoughts are suddenly at loss,
I think upon the walk I had.
Presence of any desire leaves my body,
Wishing to be rid of this strange feeling.
As I fall asleep in my bed,
Nightmares fill my uneasy mind.

Not long after I awaken in sweat,
The cemetary lying around me wherever I look.
Sounds unwelcoming fill my ears,
Hands from the ground greet my awakening.
Finally I rest for one last time,
My body slowly decomposing among the dead.
