lyrics

the end of the light

darkness falls
death comes for us all
darkness falls
the void makes the final call

Step by blind step through the empty blackness of life
I arrive at the light in the distance
And Smoke and more darkness
Comes in place of joy
As the candles are snuffed out
And it is dark again
the bleakness becomes a cherished friend

we reach the end of light
the demise of the bright

There must be a hand that lights the candles
There must be a hand that smothers the flames
There must be a master behind the hand who watches me stumble in the dark
There must be a master behind the hand who's pleasure is my mortal pain
Can the master hear me in the void when I plead for a lesser burden?
Does he savor the salt of my tears?
can he taste my useless fears?

cries of rage and sorrow echo through the dark and reach his ears as hymns to his omnipotence
I offer the blood of my hands and knees

But there is no master to collect my offerings
There is no hand
There is no one else
only the deceiving flame that calls from afar
only the nature of the world
That all of the lights be put out
