They watch with closed eyes Speaking through us, becoming us yet still they stray Channeling their voices, singing in unison until the end of days Wailing chasing the void It's so quiet like a birth in the aether A nameless child claws free from the womb A moment of clarity compassion Clinging on, now slipping into death's cradle We watch with closed eyes Breathing through us, welcoming us yet still we stray Channeling their agony Grieving in unison until the end of days Wailing embracing the void Vengeful apparitions masquerade among us Baring a guise of benevolence and mercy A delusion which we choose to ignore What fools We should be so grateful just to be awake And endlessly relive our darkest days It is so close now So very close
