lyrics

THE BLIND COSMOS GRIND ON AIMLESS
FROM NOTHING INTO SOMETHING FROM SOMETHING THEN BACK TO NOTHING
NEVER HEEDING NEVER KNOWING
THE WISHES OR EXISTENCE OF THE MINDS THAT FLICKER FOR A SECOND
NOW AND THEN
IN THE DARKNESS
ON AND ON INTO THE DARKNESS
FLARING UP CAVING IN GOING OUT WORLDS THEY DONT LAST
GODS COME AND GODS GO
THE STARS AND THE GALAXIES THEY’RE ALL TRANSIENT FLEETING THINGS
THEY FLICKER FLASH AND FADE
THOSE LIGHTS THAT SHINE
HOW THEY REMIND US OF OUR INEVITABLE END
WE CAN PRETEND THAT THIS WILL LAST
BUT OUR PAST IT PUSHES US FAST TO COLLAPSE
TO THAT INSIGNIFICANT LAST BREATH
FORGIVE FORGET LAMENT REGRET
HOW SHALLOW HOW FICKLE HOW MEANINGLESS ALL HUMAN ASPIRATIONS ARE
FIRE I COULD BURN YOU
WATER I COULD FREEZE YOU
EARTH I COULD BURY YOU
ASHES SENT TO THE WIND
