Eternity's End

The stars draw their breath of aether and chaos Swirling vortices Thriving, turning Calling out my name Reaching to the heavens For eternity's Windswept whispers Time time marches on Long after I'm gone Ever as the waves Crash into the stones Fragments of memories once known Stranger to myself in everlasting dreams I'd give anything to be free from these chains To behold the shades of autumn's retreat Fire, amber, and gold To feel the embrace of sun on my face With the breeze of the sea and its salt-ridden taste I can only dream All else is forsaken He who bears the curse Ever dying On time marches on Long after I'm gone Ever as the waves Crash into the stones Fragments of memories once known Stranger to myself in everlasting dreams I'd give anything to be free from these chains To behold the shades of autumn's retreat Fire, amber, and gold To feel the embrace of sun on my face With the breeze of the sea and its salt-ridden taste When the splendor of life has taken its toll And the flame of resistance ceases to burn Hate has made its way into my heart In the coldness of space, I long for the sun Epilogue of agony, the ink has dried Formed by cosmic poetry, the pages of time I am the scion of sorrow and dismay Watching and waiting for the end of eternity Ashes burning, carried by the wind. Cinders fading as darkness closes in Beauty lost on a world too blind to see Now they're taking it back Taking it back This confession has meant nothing Frozen ruins, a winter holocaust Barren wasteland, a monument of loss Retribution, only death remains Now they've taken it back Taken it back This confession has meant nothing When the splendor of life has taken its toll And the flame of resistance ceases to burn Hate has made its way into my heart In the coldness of space, I long for the sun
