At the End of All Things
My life fades, my visions dimAll that remains are memoriesI remember a time of chaosTime of warAs men began to feed on manOnly the scavengers survivedGone now, swept awayFor reasons long forgottenTouched of a blaseWhich engulfed them allA firestorm of fearThe answer is written in their bonesAll life endsI remember an old manGriping my wrist, he was dying"Imagine", he said"Looking into the eyes of a nova,The bursting flames, the roar of it's energyFaintly 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 fadesAnd all is dark"Then he breathed out his last breath into my earHis gaze already way out among the starsLetras de cancionesAmong the ruins of the pastI shelter from the stormMy mind is numb from the lonelinessAnd the rain that never stopsThis wasteland, once a beautiful placeWhere trees and flowers grewWhere deer, and squirrels had their homeNow rotting are their bonesWhere raging waters grind the earthI go to end my daysThe sea that witnessed mankind's birthShall watch us die againBlack and deep,Empty of lifeAs in the heaven so belowThe sun has now forever setAnd bids our time to goI am tiredAnd I fear notThe cold that now descendsAs light grows dim, I bid farewellAll life endsI am leaving now, my body stiffJust watching for a whileThat rigid shell, so small and weakA corpse on a broken cliffThe stars are calling me nowWith distant, speechless voicesAnd caught by a wind I drift awayAnd nothing calls me to stopI am ridin' the wind that has no name,The fire that burns without a flameCaught by the spell on which all depends,All life endsThe answer is written in my bones,All life ends
