lyrics

and now to load the metal dose
into a chamber, cold
it slides easier than one had hoped
making the choice with ease
heating up steel to send it off
so to the end unfolds
the sound for most is deafening
brings comfort as well
the sand descends from heights to below
all time shall end, for all
loading the metal dose
into a chamber, cold
sliding easier than one hoped
making choice with ease
heat up steel to send
the end unfolds
unfolds
unfolds
unfolds
exhale
of this last breath
black veil
of death
thunder rolls
flies drawn
this blunder on
shall greet no dawn
no new dawn
feeding the worms
exhale
last breath
blackish veil
of death
the thunder rolls
and the flies are drawn
this blunder on and on and on
last dawn
this body now returns
returning to the earth
this must be the dust
the vessel crushed
now it sinks below
rot away
definition lost with each of these days
rot away
definition lost
with each day
and you pray
you pray
some things shall last
others will become ash
not built to last
can’t sustain the crush
that crash
now only in the past
flesh to forest
now only in the past
flesh to forest
now grow
now thrive
