Lyrics

[01:02.748] A stark grey world appears before his eyes
[01:12.622] Like a melancholic whisper fading in the wind
[01:22.287] Ashen daylight thickens for each painful step
[01:31.535] To fall asleep just to wake up to a dying world
[01:45.589]
[02:00.635] Visions of that vibrant, opulent field
[02:09.961] Her erstwhile writings, now a distant memory
[02:15.734]
[02:38.408] I yearn to fuse with this cold earth
[02:47.995] I beg to return to a state of worth
[02:57.922] In oceans of rust and decay I swim
[03:07.822] On this lurid path I sing my final hymn
[03:17.435]
[03:36.792] Sisyphean cycles and sulphurous skies
[03:45.935] I yearn to die but I am being denied
[03:55.261]
[04:34.287] Derelict monuments forgotten by mankind
[04:43.535] The sky has lost its meaning and lo, the sun is now blind
[04:53.096] To wander this world-wide cenotaph forever
[05:02.996] Misery is the only light in this endeavour
