Soul Departure
1999 b. strong

Once in a while
A soul decides to depart
Because its trial
Becomes separated from the heart

And once the soul has departed
A new kind of exile has started
Seldom if ever does one recover - there is no cure
The blackness inside from the soul departure

Causes are known
And prevention's often ignored
Until inner conflict has grown
The end result, no one knows for sure

As black as night
From the inside of a grave
The soul's very light
Could not even be saved
