O Soul, Take Wing [[Neoplatonism]]

Sophia, Lady of Wisdom,
Why do I walk this earth
With filthy soil, but untainted blue skies?
Understanding surpasses the people
But you appear so sure
Civilization runs crumbling
With no body to aid it.
And you ask for action
Movement to be remembered and kept

Flesh, evil and prison of bone,
Why must you hold me to ground?
I crave for all less holy
Regardless of soul battles
Curse you, separation!
Damn the yearning; the hunger.
Lust in darkness fails me
Curse the Body!

I wish to know Virtue's ingredients
Comprehension, first and foremost
Understanding, my salvation's cost
For my soul longs to return
And unite with the divine
Oh, lovely divine

And dead souls will rise again
Take wing to rise again
