[Verse 1]Closed, the eyes of the deadYet I can see you all black surrounding my old abodeA cry breaking the silenceLament of a mourner washing pain away like rain[Chorus 1]Life, the day we'll be gone(Life, the greatest of all lies)A step into the unknown(The time to blink our eyes and we're gone)Free from all fears(Before we die)Crave the peace of our earth(Crave our immortality)Finally back to the place we belong(As the memory resides in our name and fills the hearts)[Verse 2]Lone, my body restsMay the earth lie lightly upon my defenseless spoilsVoid, epiphany of absenceFading all my senses into the eternal night[Chorus 2]VacuumTime, the day we'll be gone(Time, illusion of our mind)The sleep of no return(The nemesis of the most foolish longing)Where everything's clear(Eternity is)Fame resounds in the words(Fame, when back to dust again, is inert)The true epitaph that will live forever(And all that remains, it can be love or)Pain, afflicting the hearts(Pain we inflicted on other men)Infecting the souls(Infernal torment lasts for the ones we leave behind)It's carved in the memories of our sons(Face, oh, who we really are)Face what we've become(Laid bare before the highest judge, the memory)It shapes in the mirror a man we don't know[Bridge]ShineBefore returning to dustAccept the finite nature of flesh and carpe diemLive each day as if it's your lastUnburdened of paralyzing dreads, move pastAs the master taught us[Outro]Cold, the hand of fateCruel, falls down relentless the curtain on passing fleshDeath, the close of existenceThe mother of all fears and despair of mankindIs nothing but life
