If eternity should fail
Here is the soul of a manHere, in this place, for the takingClothed in white, stand in the lightHere is the soul of a man
Time to speak with the shaman againConjure the jester againBlack dog in the ruins is howling my nameSo, here is the soul of a man
When the world was virginBefore the coming of menJust a solar witnessThe beginning of the endFrom a world of magmaTo a cold rock faceThe ascent of madnessAnd a human race
We are strange believers, all of usThere are stranger truths, immortal lustWe rise from slumber, he calls our nameRecalls our number, abide with pain
Reef in a sail at the edge of the worldIf eternity should failWaiting in line for the ending of timeIf eternity should failReef in a sail at the edge of the worldIf eternity should failWaiting in line for the ending of timeIf eternity should fail
To god’s illusion which I recallWas our delusionBefore the fallThe angels come and the angels goBut the lord of light shining below
Eternal blackness beyond the starsWe think our wisdom will get that farAt the master’s table, the table’s bareNo land of plenty, devastation, despair
Reef in a sail at the edge of the worldIf eternity should failWaiting in line for the ending of timeIf eternity should failReef in a sail at the edge of the worldIf eternity should failWaiting in line at the ending of timeIf eternity should fail
Reef in a sail at the edge of the worldIf eternity should failWaiting in line for the ending of timeIf eternity should failReef in a sail at the edge of the worldIf eternity should failWaiting in line at the ending of timeIf eternity should failReef in a sail at the edge of the worldIf eternity should failWaiting in line at the ending of timeIf eternity should failReef in a sail at the edge of the worldIf eternity should failWaiting in line at the ending of timeIf eternity should fail
Good day my name is NecropolisI am formed of the deadI am the harvester of the soul meatAnd I suck the lives from around my bedMy own two sons, I gave them breathAnd I filled their living corpses with my bileWhat humanity I knew, I have long forgottenFor me, eternity is nothingBut a short while
