Analysis of Spirit Cache



Since you died do you exist? Where is your essence core?
I know you left your legend
which quickly turned to lore.

Since you died do you exist? Where is your image base?
I know you left your ego
which quickly turned to grace.

Since you died do you exist? Where is your shadow dance?
I know you left your footprint
which quickly turned to stance.

Since you died do you exist? Where is your echo voice?
I know you left your message
which quickly turned to choice.

Since you died do you exist? Where is your fiery stamp?
I know you left your vigor
which quickly turned to champ.

Since you died do you exist? Where is your spirit cache?
I know you left your body
which quickly turned to ash.
