|
My life fades, my visions dim |
|
all that remains are memories |
|
I remember a time of chaos |
|
time of war |
|
as men began to feed on man |
|
only the scavengers survived |
|
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 lonliness |
|
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 |
|
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 |
