lyrics

Time is drifting by
Life’s great mystery is blind
We’ll never know
Tyrants hold their grasp
Existence will never truly last
Fictional flow
I’m falling below
Crawling, dying it’s the last time
I’ll cry for help
Just like summers end
The leaves they fall, wither, and die
This is where it began

Searing sun will blind our eyes
Sparkling stigma in a flash of light
Pale remembrance of our genesis
Who is this stranger so vaguely familiar
A specter of my past self, illusions from another life
Behind shadows
Inside this room
Suppressed gallows
The mind consumes
Alone I die, alone I die, alone I die

Devoid of consciousness
Enthralled by emptiness so vast
We are waiting to pass
dreams I’ve had are drifting aside
A vague glimpse of the soul

A burning wildfire grows on the horizon
We must turn our back on tragedy
And embrace the wings of change

Behind shadows
Inside this room
Suppressed gallows
The mind consumes
Alone I die, alone I die, alone I die
Tragedy consumes, comprehension abhorred
Perception twists a temporary form of being
Alone we wait in this ever growing black
Where are we going? An agenda unannounced
Will we awake to meet the dreamers?
The makers of our consciousness

This is unstoppable, relentless
I question our existence
This is who I am? Is this what we are?
Intentionally accidental?

On this island in the cosmos
We await our final form
Primordial destination
Evolution is reborn
I sense the unknown
And it feels like home

The gardens of rejuvenation
Hide the pains of devastation
Alone we travel in a sea of dreams
And consume a tragic nostalgia
