Carnal Cage-Kaliban

It’s so cold in here, in this chamber Where my oppressed soul is destined to dwell Too narrow to abide This peel of mine is for me as well In my dreams only Have I seen myself as free From the chains of space and time In the light of infinity And every time I see the colors of that world My soul does cry For in me they awaken A yearning of the deepest kind All the strife within me and my life Will crumble me The absence of a warming love Brings cruel anxiety Oh, when it all will be done And that one sweet moment will come Yearning will be wiped off my face As I leave behind my carnal cage Down in life true joy is denied In cold flesh the spirit confined Drowning in lust for lures that blind Eyes so bright, minds so sublime Yet to roam in this trial of pain Is purposed to raise us, hence not in vain The chained are just too frail to grasp The ordeals as a gift in their hands Oh, when I’ll finally see The bliss of the world that awaits for me When I tread to that celestial place I have left behind my carnal cage
