Before Spine
Human skin was just a costume made to ride, bound to this earth and locking the unseen outside…
Never thought that you were alone
When every little child born
Was accompanied by unseen creatures with horns,
Some with vicious teeth reborn,
Some came into adulthood, conquering our throne.
Human skin was just a costume made to ride,
Bound to this earth and locking the unseen outside.
Now we forget we were spirits before spine,
And when the divine promises were signed.

Light or dark crave our fate,
But you are the one who dictates.
The earth is always the devil’s playground,
But remember, the angels are also around.
That we all came here to learn,
To forgive and to earn,
To be grateful or vengeful to the owner of the unseen-
Even so, our spirits were chosen to breathe.
