lyrics

Beneath this vision of beauty rests a tomb
The forgotten exalted laid to rest
But what of these gods will be remembered
When all has withered and gone?

No gods remain
Age upon age will slowly forget
So falls the rain
Washing clean the earth
Of those hiding from the truth

No gods are here
Nor were they there
But this beauty will always remain
As will death
Until the final sun has set
A bitter cruelty resounds through every sentient being

Don't mourn this passing
For they won't mourn you
As time obscures everything you once knew

Behold the dawning
Of a new age
Unwatched by the gods you hail

Time moves ever onwards with or without you
But this world sustains

(I also repeat some lines like an idiot.)
