lyrics

Where have you gone?
My prelapsarian days?
Painfully ended
Wounds that will never heal

Upheaval is all I know
Everything is in flux
The river of time ever flows
Into the ocean of oblivion

There is no help
The stars cannot guide
You are all alone
Will you find your way through?

We must all bear the heavy burden
The inherent sadness of existence
The deathly sorrows of all things
The ephemerality of purpose

The flames will consume all they can
They heed no cries for mercy
But even all-consuming fire is necessary
Will you remain as ash, or rise as a phoenix?

Things cannot stay the same
Antiquated, unjust mores must go
Vestigial remnants of a haunted past
Must make way for the new

Will you save them?
Will you save yourself?
