Entheos - A Thousand Days

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, 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 seemed like life had just begun.

As the days pass
I feel the end
Mother, will I breathe 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.
