My life fades, my visions dim   all that remains are memories   I remember a time of chaos   time of war   as men began to feed on man   only the scavengers survived   gone now, swept away   for reasons long forgotten   touched of a blase   which engulfed them all   a firestorm of fear   the answer is written in their bones   all life ends   I remember an old man   griping my wrist, he was dying   "imagine", he said   "looking into the eyes of a nova,   the bursting flames, the roar of it's energy   frintly echoing down the corridors of time,   whispering: all life ends   "death, he said "is like a bolt of lightning,   Light cast upon every secret,   just for a moment, till the last spark of life fades   and all is dark..."   then he breathed out his last breath into my ear   his gaze already way out among the stars...   among the ruins of the past   I shelter from the storm   my mind is numb from the lonliness   and the rain that never stops   this wasteland, once a beautiful place   where trees and flowers grew   where deer, and squirells had their home   now rotting are their bones   Where raging waters grind the earth   I go to end my days   the sea that witnessed mankinds birth   shall watch us die again   black and deep,   empty of life   as in the heaven so below   the sun has now forever set   and bids our time to go   I am tired   and I fear not   the cold that now descends   as light grows dim, I bid farewell   all life ends   I am leaving now, my body stiff   just watching for a while   that rigid shell, so small and weak   a corpse on a broken cliff   the stars are calling me now   with distant, speechless voices   and caught by a wind I drift away   and nothing calls me to stay...   I am ridint the wind that has no name,   the fire that burns without a flame   caught by the spell on which all depends,   all life ends   the answer is written in my bones,   all life ends
