Lyric

In their lofty chambers dwell

The sacred and divine

Resting in seraphic bliss

The timeless and sublime

Far above the mortal sphere

Dreaming without a care

Far above the weeping world

Sleeping amidst the light of stars

Too far away to hear our calls

Too far away to care at all

On the burnished thrones they sit

Might in their blazing eyes

Vault of heaven at their feet

Undying flames inside

Never shall decay or death

Touch on the blithe souls

Sorrowless the days of gods

Amidst the everblooming groves

Too far away to hear our calls

Too far away to care at all

But where do we lay our heads to rest?

Where do we shelter when the night falls?

For the part of man

Is to take the sombre path

Stumble in the dark

Stray amidst the dust and ash

Like forgotten ghosts

Drifting in the driving wind

Dashing towards the void

Whirling blindly through the night

Like water flung from the highest cliff

We fall

Lunge, Swirl, Dissolve

And fade away

Down into the unknown

- It's already the end -
