Lyrics
Beyond the warmth of the sun
Unbound by existence above
A timeless nexus whispers
Resounding call from the other side
A voice from below
Hypnotic, alluring, with cadence it flows
Step by feeble step enslaved
Our futile disposition
Towards the grave
A birthright set in stone
Inked in blood, inscribed across our bones
Conceived with no concern
From nothing where we shall return
To dust we swiftly vanish
Traceless, vacant, insignificance
The earth unfolding
The march of time conducting
The hands of fate forever drag us down
Depart from the living
Like rats in motion
Drawn towards the bitter end
In blind procession
Servants to damnation’s song descend
Breath by breath collapsing
Interment everlasting
There’s no escape
As coins adorn their eyes as payment
Mourners left in anguish
Await the next in line
The foolish search for meaning
To their empty lives so fleeting
With no purpose or direction
Simply doomed to rot inside
We’re thrust into our casket opened wide
With tension growing
This cursed mark bestowing
A birthright set in stone
Inked in blood, inscribed across our bones
Conceived with no concern
From nothing where we shall return
Can you feel the darkness forming?
Outstretching, enfolding
Submerging every shred of light
In barren seas of buried dreams
We bid farewell to all mankind
The cards are dealt
The stars are writ
The final curtain closing
The only guarantee in life
A one way trip
Towards the grave
