lyrics

Looking around at this world of ruin
Everything we built and all those we loved
Are left behind as the Earth goes on
The briefest flicker in history
To be forgotten by all but him;
The last man to face his final day…

He held her head as she drew her last breath and fell into the longest sleep
One that will last a thousand years and more
He stands alone at the edge of a calm and endless sea
All is not lost while he remains here to remember us

Another ceaseless sun scorched day
Iridescent horizon
But this is far from paradise
This is a grave he stands in alone
He drops down onto his knees
And screams up to the heavens
A blood curdling prayer caught
In his throat that will go forever unheard

Could this have been averted if we’d seen?
The harm we caused by pulling at the seams
Threads we felt not required to remain
In place
Intact
So arrogant were we
This end
This curse
A destiny deserved
This fate
This fall
A crushing justice served
This man
He holds the only records of
Our lives
Our loves
Our Empires and our wars

All in his memories as he draws his final breath
As the light dies in his eyes
We fade away
Into emptiness
