Let Us Seperate The Great Empty

When you separate me from chaos you left a little held within

I've spent my days ordering it but I am no G-d

I cannot speak and make it be so

And so I spend my days exploring 

Studying war, studying peace

Wondering what is me and what is the chaos

That is the curse of internal emptiness 

So I pray a prayer for separation

I pray for a dome inside me

Discern between me and the chaos

Lord of my ancestors, don’t let it consume me
