When the lights flicker to black
And the warmth brought by unseen fires
Leave us, we shiver
With nothing to hold the dark at bay

The seasons are stark
Winter to summer adverse
A clash of the extremes
The frost against the glare

The spasms grown stronger now
And our bodies withered and frail
Give in to the dawning reign
Of ice and darkness

No more shall we greet the dawn
No break to our perpetual fast
No morning shall ever bloom again
No sun to bless the face of the earth

The heavens look down at us
The myriad eyes of the distant suns
Forever bright in their cold gaze
Unmoved by our frigid night
It will not pass

Watch closely, loving mother
The world as we know it will fall
Listen closely, mother
While their voices still call

Hear the laments
Faltering little by little
Hear the voices still linger
Waiting for deliverance

Waiting
To no avail
We pass the time
Slowly running out
Waiting
Until stagnation
Will be the worm
To conquer us all

See the remnants
Crumbling little by little
Hear the voices still linger
Waiting for deliverance

See your children, dying mother
They are bleeding out
In a trembling letter, they carve
Their epitaph upon your breast

In silence the children stand
With no air to breathe
They suckle upon your flaccid chest
That seeps but poison
Their fetal frames
Writhing in death

We wake up
And watch the world fall apart
And we wake up
Why does this feel so right?

We must wake up
Our world, it needs to break apart
We see the pieces adjusting
To a pattern they were meant to be

Will you stand beside me
And witness our world crumble
Will you share this ending with me
And begin anew
