And Like This To Eternity
Where do the seconds go when they pass you by
Like clouds upon the weeping sky?
Do you miss them?
Where do the nights go when they slip away?
What's left to save?
Do you regret them?
Does this icy veneer hide calamity?
Oh-- Oh, yes, I smell iniquity.
Where hides the darkest hour?
Burn, burn and devour.
Can you feel me?
I sink my teeth into centuries.
Exist in the boundaries.
Do you fear me?
These words are all daggers and, trust me, I have a whole armory.
The Sunset will lead you to Death, or to Victory.
Don't you look back, here be monsters.
And I am one of them--
So keep your sword drawn and run.
Oh, run from the trees because they've all got ears
And the leaves are watching
And there's no escaping-- so run.
Now the Sun will not shine but the Moon, he smiles wide
And the Sky is bleeding.
And the Stars are screaming -- just run.
Yes, this is war, this is calamity.
We tear, ablaze, into Eternity.
I see you run; I see you hide;
I see you plead for your life.
I see you crash; I see you burn;
And like this to Eternity.
Et sic in infinitum
Et sic in infinitum
Et sic in infinitum
And like this to Eternity.
Like clouds upon the weeping sky?
Do you miss them?
Where do the nights go when they slip away?
What's left to save?
Do you regret them?
Does this icy veneer hide calamity?
Oh-- Oh, yes, I smell iniquity.
Where hides the darkest hour?
Burn, burn and devour.
Can you feel me?
I sink my teeth into centuries.
Exist in the boundaries.
Do you fear me?
These words are all daggers and, trust me, I have a whole armory.
The Sunset will lead you to Death, or to Victory.
Don't you look back, here be monsters.
And I am one of them--
So keep your sword drawn and run.
Oh, run from the trees because they've all got ears
And the leaves are watching
And there's no escaping-- so run.
Now the Sun will not shine but the Moon, he smiles wide
And the Sky is bleeding.
And the Stars are screaming -- just run.
Yes, this is war, this is calamity.
We tear, ablaze, into Eternity.
I see you run; I see you hide;
I see you plead for your life.
I see you crash; I see you burn;
And like this to Eternity.
Et sic in infinitum
Et sic in infinitum
Et sic in infinitum
And like this to Eternity.
