Abridged future at dusk, dawn alight through sorrow
I fear of losing today in the sea of tomorrow
My memories bleed their color and then they slowly fade
Through the loss of hope the blows of pain engrave
My forgotten epitaph, misunderstood upon cracked headstone
Reads only that in my grave I lie alone
I lay across the horizon eternally watching the stars awake
Counting the years that pass with each new morning break
Time is nocturnal, passing only when I close my eyes
Only to reopen in fear to foreign and forgotten skies
Winds blow like a voice who's volume is slowly dimmed
False echoes remitted in the chasms in time condemned
How long I have walked upon this earth I cannot say
Thousands of years seem blurred as to a single day
A shooting star falling deeper into space, a fire growing forever cold
I forget the times I spent, now parting to become old
Space it seems is all to small, closing around me like a cage
I long for the end of eternity alone and the sunset of an age
One by one I watched them die wondering when my time will come
As petals fall from wilting flowers like a whispered chorus sung
Heaven's gaze sought from afar as I wish to join the dead
But all I have is a massive sea of memories, tide flow within my head
Pieces of me were torn when each loved one was lost to me
I find that no matter what I do, I soon drown within my sea
I fear of losing today in the sea of tomorrow
My memories bleed their color and then they slowly fade
Through the loss of hope the blows of pain engrave
My forgotten epitaph, misunderstood upon cracked headstone
Reads only that in my grave I lie alone
I lay across the horizon eternally watching the stars awake
Counting the years that pass with each new morning break
Time is nocturnal, passing only when I close my eyes
Only to reopen in fear to foreign and forgotten skies
Winds blow like a voice who's volume is slowly dimmed
False echoes remitted in the chasms in time condemned
How long I have walked upon this earth I cannot say
Thousands of years seem blurred as to a single day
A shooting star falling deeper into space, a fire growing forever cold
I forget the times I spent, now parting to become old
Space it seems is all to small, closing around me like a cage
I long for the end of eternity alone and the sunset of an age
One by one I watched them die wondering when my time will come
As petals fall from wilting flowers like a whispered chorus sung
Heaven's gaze sought from afar as I wish to join the dead
But all I have is a massive sea of memories, tide flow within my head
Pieces of me were torn when each loved one was lost to me
I find that no matter what I do, I soon drown within my sea
