Beautiful Decline
Fingers of rust gently intertwineLace the seams of sacrifice in beautiful declineCatalysis of creations of all that was mankindPull our corruption towards nature, the state that's predefinedRust forms, bringing it all downWood rots, and into the groundFlesh falls; life's decomposedThen nature's again exposed.All that floats upon the sea, all that hangs in the airAll that sits in dust or dirt eventually ensnared.The gentle touch of time will take you unawarePulling all creations down, an elegant affair.Rust forms, bringing it all downWood rots, and into the groundFlesh falls; life's decomposedThen nature's again exposedPleasant patina pulls apart a holy copper shrineLike gently creeping mossy claws, scarring all divine.All the things you think you value, including the gift of lifeWill slowly, gently fall apart, 'til the world is right.Rust forms, bringing it all downWood rots, and into the groundFlesh falls; life's decomposedThen nature's again exposed From Letras Mania
