A loosening of fetters,
A breaking down of bars,
An opening of doors,
A soul, long prisoned, free
To mount the golden ladder
of the stars
And see the world that
lies beyond the prison wall:
Men call it Death,
The Spirit calls it Life.
A breaking down of bars,
An opening of doors,
A soul, long prisoned, free
To mount the golden ladder
of the stars
And see the world that
lies beyond the prison wall:
Men call it Death,
The Spirit calls it Life.
- Manly P. Hall, "The Hymn of Death"
