Do you see them? All who have gone before us They stare from above, open arms But I don't think that I'm ready To let this world slip away When I return To the Earth I will catch my breath Lay my head on the cold, calm ground beneath me And rest my eyes for a thousand days Until the end of time I have stared deep into the abyss Its embrace next to mine, exiled from this life I can see it, I can taste it I will never touch its skin Until the end I can feel life's bitter end Climbing up my spine like the cold Sinking deep into my skin Pull me into that black hole Until the end of time Do you hear them? All who have gone before us Their voices echo But I don't think that I am ready Do you see them? They stare from above But I don't think that I'm ready To watch this world slip away I can feel life's bitter end Climbing up my spine like the cold Sinking deep into my skin Pull me into that black hole I can feel life's bitter end Rising right along with the Sun Sinking deep into my skin It seems like life had just begun As the days pass I feel the end As the days pass I feel the end Mother, will I breathe again? Again? When I return To the Earth I will catch my breath Lay my head on the cold, calm ground beneath me And rest my eyes for a thousand days
