The Earth Will Turn

We'll return to the dirt Our veins soil to the Earth Forward the relentless turn Dust in the air floating in the beams Held aloft by the so meaninglessly And yet they gleam, oh so effortlessly By the nothingness between The Earth will turn! The face of a clock, the faces of us One marches on, one turns to dust I saw the look in your eyes when at last you finally realized This was the last time you'd see this world alive Your marks left traces on my mind You drew yourself into my timeline Turn away, our souls dug into fate So turn on away We won't wilt today I saw the world in your eyes and the lines that crossed in our lives Now just frames in my mind flickering past like stars in the sky Draping light over my life Igniting of a flame to defy this good night
