Analysis of Return As Gods



Like a shooting star so full of love,
Across time and twilight skies so high above,
The cosmic powers dawn and dusk,
In the heavens decide upon what they must.

What was is not fate chosen freely,
And what is still true for you and for me,
Of love and hope freedom and vice,
And what must be undone with our advice.

Through the hope and despair we carry the flame,
The motivating emotions of pleasure and pain,
As our souls repair unto their truest form,
Our ancestral devotions now healed where torn.

Two hearts so entwined in their vibrations,
Through true love sealed in their unification, The hope so divine we share it in our hearts,
Yet to be revealed in the next chapter when it starts.

For only one with grace and compassionate nature,
Can unknot a druid curse created through hatred,
And and undo a false fate of a crime which never was,
Through words, rhyme and verse returning our leaders has gods.
