lyrics
Lyrics written and arranged by Elliot Beaver
I lie broken here on this field full of the rotting dead,
Blood leaks from my wounded chest, the ravens flie above,
the scavenging carrion come to devour my flesh,
Once I have seen the darkness descend for the last time
At the end of fear oblivion
AS the last glow passes out of my eyes,
I see nothing but an endless void
Spiralling ever downward into nothingness
Everything unified by the darkness,
This cannot be all there is, infinite space of cold emptiness
and miserable death..
I leave this life by a bitter end, and now I float motionless in a sea of blackest night nthing in sight as i drift
eternally enclosed by the realms of infinity
Confined to the paradox of wandering a dead cosmos,
All my deeds go unpunished no price for the crime of sin,
no hell or any heaven, sorrow misery and pain
all now worthless in the end, conscience is all that's left
Now twilight descends and night is falling fast,
I don't understand this doom lain before me
so many questions to be unanswered, dislodged from any plain of existance,
I feel the fated blade pierce my ribcage again,
passing right through my armour there was no endless void
Was it all an illusion? I can taste the blood in my mouth
We mortals are but shadows and dust drifting in the sands of time.
