Nothing at all like the extravagant passing So valuable to them So invaluable to all So it ends Heart of oak and lead Distant I see it My heart longs for it So it ends No replacement for its shroud So it ends And so it begins And now the storms blast Shredding wooden masts Tyrannical deserts Of times past And now the storms pass Monstrous waving flags Freezing what little they had So it ends It's a damned life With no I and no other Who hears the sound? Nothing at all like the extravagant passing So valuable to them So invaluable to all So it ends But worry not Because so it ends And so it begins The richness of self And the emptiness of being When the sky was opened And solitude reigned Total paranoia Is just total awareness Total disgrace In its mortal sternness And so it begins The final stand of man Our ultimate judgement
