|
My life fades, my visions dim |
|
All that remains are memories |
|
I remember a time of chaos |
|
A time of war |
|
As men began to feed on man |
|
Only the scavengers survived |
|
Gone now |
|
Gone now, swept away |
|
For reasons long forgotten |
|
Touched of a blase |
|
Which engulfed them all |
|
A firestorm of fear |
|
The answer is written in their bones |
|
"All life ends" |
|
I remember an old man |
|
Griping my wrist, he was dying |
|
"Imagine", he said, |
|
"Looking into the eyes of a nova |
|
The bursting flames |
|
The roar of it's energy |
|
Frintly echoing down the corridors of time" |
|
Whispering: |
|
"All life ends" |
|
"Death", he said, |
|
"Is like a bolt of lightning |
|
Light cast upon every secret |
|
Just for a moment, till the last spark of life fades |
|
And all is dark..." |
|
Then he breathed out his last breath into my ear |
|
His gaze already way out among the stars... |
|
Among the ruins of the past |
|
I shelter from the storm |
|
My mind is numb from the loneliness |
|
And the rain that never stops |
|
This wasteland, once a beautiful place |
|
Where trees and flowers grew |
|
Where deer, and squirells had their home |
|
Now rotting are their bones |
|
Where raging waters grind the earth |
|
I go to end my days |
|
The sea that witnessed mankinds birth |
|
Shall watch us die again |
|
Black and deep |
|
Empty of life |
|
As in the heaven so below |
|
The sun has now forever set |
|
And bids our time to go |
|
Go! |
|
I am tired |
|
And I fear not |
|
The cold that now descends |
|
As light grows dim, I bid farewell |
|
All life ends |
|
I am leaving now, my body stiff |
|
Just watching for a while |
|
That rigid shell, so small and weak |
|
A corpse on a broken cliff |
|
The stars are calling me now |
|
With distant, speechless voices |
|
And caught by a wind I drift away |
|
And nothing calls me to stay |
|
I am ridint the wind that has no name |
|
The fire that burns without a flame |
|
Caught by the spell on which all depends |
|
"All life ends" |
|
The answer is written in my bones |
|
"All life ends" |
