The Great Cessation

	Will we ever see a time
	When it's enough
	When we see what we know
	Isn't all
	Of all that is
	Creating a world
	Of broken hearts
	Of tired eyes
	Living in this shell
	Like it was forever
	Close your eyes
	And let it go
	Breathe in the space
	Before you were born
	Crashing waves
	Grief and pain
	Is washed away
	Open to
	The great cessation
	Waves wash away
	Memories
	Wane and fade
	Open to
	The great cessation
	Will we ever see a time
	Without cause
	When we see what we know
	Never was
	It never was
	Churches
	Altars, shrines
	Caves in the heart
	Within the womb
	Raising our hands
	To a sky without end
	Watch the river pass by
	Passive on the shore
	Giving temptation
	Space to explore
	Dense guilt and guile
	Gently put to rest
	Reverberate through time
	Lives pass on and pass on
	The witness triumphant
	The death of the deathless one
