Dear friends Where have you Gone? The silence Is very deafening Moments frozen in time Greet me In blackest infinity This burden has weighed a ton. Embrace me Should I let go Crawling as we did at birth Bludgeoned by this mortal coil One day closer To our final breaths And just when you have nothing left They'll take that too. Father I am your son Mother I am your everything These veins run with your blood I beg you don't leave me now Crawling as we did at birth Bludgeoned by this mortal coil One day closer to our final breaths And just when you have nothing left They'll take that too If we endure the pain Brought by this barrage of torment We'll see the things we love wither and die Vermin run in place On a path unwinding In a circle, a circle of lies Coping with these stages of mortality Accepting the impermanence of being Stability, prosperity, longevity Futile notions and expenditures of time Laborem Morte liberat te We toil until our deaths Laborem morte liberat te Until freedom comes at last This too shall pass in time Ride the winds into obscurity Hold fast to the things you love They disappear once you turn around Things change until you don't belong And it's true you can never go home Crawling as we did at birth Bludgeoned by this mortal coil One day closer to our final breaths And just when you have nothing left They'll take that too...
