Closed, the eyes of the dead
Yet I can see you all black surrounding my old abode
Cry breaking the silence
Lament of a mourner washing pain away like rain
Life, the day we'll be gone (the greatest of all lies)
A step into the unknown (the time to blink our eyes and we're gone)
Free from all fears (before we die)
Crave the peace of our earth (our immortality)
As the memory (finally back to the)
Resides in our name and fills the hearts (place of our earth)
Lone, my body rests
May the earth lie lightly upon my defenseless spoils
Void, epiphany of absence
Fading all my senses into the eternal night, vacuum
Time, the day we'll be gone (illusion of our mind)
The sleep of no return (the nemesis of the most foolish longing)
Where everything's clear (eternity is...)
Fame resounds in the words (when back to dust again)
The true epitaph that will live forever (is inert, and all that remains it can be love or)
Pain, afflicting the hearts (we inflicted on other men)
Infecting the souls (infernal torment lasts)
It's carved in the memories of our sons (for the ones we leave behind)
Face what we've become (oh, who we really are)
It shapes in the mirror a man we don't know (laid bare before the highest judge)
The memory
♪
Shine
Before returning to dust
Accept the finite nature of flesh
And carpe diem
Live each day as if it's your last
Unburdened of paralyzing dreads, move past
As the master taught us
Cold, the hand of fate
Cruel, falls down relentless the curtain on passing flesh
Death, the close of existence
The mother of all fears and despair of mankind
Is nothing but life
