Metamorphosis Lyrics

Only two things that I hoped would never come to pass:
Die inside a hospital and drawn-out death by cancer

How ironic that my death has mirrored my own brother's
Save for how this broken ship made passage to the other side

Leave your mortal frame and rise to see a friend
How you fought through every trial
Resplendent, but you still must fight

There's more to go and you'll sink if you don't fight
It's never-ending
You'll learn to love and fight
The stars connect me
My bosom yearns to fight
As you can see now, you've never been alone

If there's one thing that I've learned in all my years, having your heart ripped out can be a source of grace
And your shame, when laid out to see, can begin to make you who you're supposed to be

You become that which you worship, be it virtuous or vile - no false neutrality
Orient myself to heaven
Feel the warmth from distant fire - my guardian Paraclete

Leave the earth behind and rise to see a friend
How you suffered with assurance
Resplendent, but you still must fight

Leave the pain behind and rise to join the saints
How you trusted in the Father
And now it's time to reflect His love

Forgive your brother and offer them your love
There's more to go and you'll sink if you don't love
It's never-ending
You'll learn to fight and love
The stars connect me
My bosom yearns to love
As you can see now, you've never been alone

Come, brother bear
Sit at the table
Come, brother bear
Offer oblation
