Once there was a man who lived A thousand centuries Just to see what all this would become Soon he saw the whole, all eventualities Never took his eyes from the sun As the years unfold and the sun grows Colder and the moon Becomes a ghostly serenade Never to grow old and never wonder What the greatest journey Would become in days Under the sea of blood Under the sea of blood Oh my salvation, you are my dark star I will become what other dread to be And so the stars exploded Into the blackest void And all was left to dust and light He came to see destruction Upon a noble steed But all he saw was endless night Once there was a girl who lived A thousand centuries Never found a friend to call her own Soon she turned to ice, A mountain of indignity Couldn't bare the awful years alone
