The longing for meaning A melody followed in vain Time's an evasive fiend And purpose's a painful path to sustain As the artisan perfects his creation Lacklustre, vicious and cruel Heaven a memory mundane Lonely the bird that transcends the final eclipse Through halls made of mirrors And wastelands of smoke Pale beauty awoke from her slumber The abyss slid open under her feet Drifting above the hurt Endless the path across the black river I wished for her life to go on Invoke all the ancients The bloodline of hers A song for the earth I remembered She ran out of days To slowly wither away Wither away In depth that no scripts could describe In a darkness no prayer could reach In the hands of the everflow Where faith no longer remains Through halls made of mirrors And wastelands of smoke Pale beauty awoke from her slumber The abyss slid open under her feet Drifting above the hurt Endless the path across the black river I wished for her life to go on Invoke all the ancients The bloodline of hers A song for the earth I remembered She ran out of days She withers away
