I found peace by the trees of God

Which pass by my eyes like a memory.

And as my father spoke of forgiveness,

I wished forgiveness would set him free.

The darkness of the world threatens

His son, who looks on near fearlessly

And smiles at the prospect of forever; 

For youth speaks of eternity.

I found peace by the trees of God

After He bit at the strength of my bones.

There’s something dark about death;

Knowing the lies behind the tombstones;

Knowing the truth behind the hopes:

We all (do not) go to Heaven.
