My life fades the 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 blaze 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 eye of a nova
The bursting flames, the roar of it's energy
Faintly 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
'Til 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, ones a beautiful place
Where trees and flowers grew
Where deer squirrels had their home
Now rotting are their bones

Where raging waters grind the earth
I go to end my days, the sea that witnessed
Mankind's birth shall watch us die again
Black and deep, empty of life as in 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 their bones

All life ends
