Auspicium - Water for the Dead

Water for the Dead


As sure as the fire has claimed us before
It will claim us again
and all that was will fail
and our world will turn to ash
for all empires fall
and all memories fade
when in the end
no one will remember your name
all you've built has turned to dust
and the words of men like me come true
but no one will remember us
and no one will remember anything
No prayer to God, No Opus et fin
Not one work of Man shall withstand the sands of time
and all that will endure
is the wind through the pines
and all that will last
is the stones and the hills
and the waves on the sea's everlasting shore
For Death Will Claim Us All
