Album:

Terminal Spirit Disease

My life fades
 My visions dim
 All that remains
 Are memories
 I remember a time of chaos
 Time of war
 As men began to feed on man
 Only the scavengers survived
 Gone now, swept away
 For reasons long forgotten
 Touched of a blase
 Which engulfed them all
 A firestorm of fear
 The answer is written in their bones
 All life ends
 I remember an old man
 Griping my wrist, he was dying
 "Imagine", he said
 "Looking into the eyes of a nova,
 The bursting flames, the roar of it's energy
 Frintly echoing down the corridors of time,
 Whispering: all life ends
 "Death, he said "is like a bolt of lightning,
 Light cast upon every secret,
 Just for a moment, till the last spark of life fades
 And all is dark..."
 Then he breathed out his last breath into my ear
 His gaze already way out among the stars...
 Among the ruins of the past
 I shelter from the storm
 My mind is numb from the loneliness
 And the rain that never stops
 This wasteland, once a beautiful place
 Where trees and flowers grew
 Where deer, and squirells had their home
 Now rotting are their bones
 Where raging waters grind the earth
 I go to end my days
 The sea that witnessed mankinds birth
 Shall watch us die again
 Black and deep,
 Empty of life
 As in the heaven so below
 The sun has now forever set
 And bids our time to go
 I am tired
 And i fear not
 The cold that now descends
 As light grows dim, I bid farewell
 All life ends
 I am leaving now, my body stiff
 Just watching for a while
 That rigid shell, so small and weak
 A corpse on a broken cliff
 The stars are calling me now
 With distant, speechless voices
 And caught by a wind I drift away
 And nothing calls me to stay...
 I am riding the wind that has no name,
 The fire that burns without a flame
 Caught by the spell on which all depends,
 All life ends
 The answer is written in my bones,
 All life ends
