Fleshgod Apocalypse - The Day We'll Be Gone

Closed, the eyes of the dead
Yet I can see you all black surrounding my old abode
A cry breaking the silence
Lament of a mourner washing pain away like rain

Life, the day we'll be gone
A step into the unknown
Free from all fears
Crave the peace of our earth
Finally back to the place we belong

Life, the greatest of all lies
The time to blink our eyes and we're gone
Before we die
Crave our immortality
As the memory resides in our name and fills the hearts

Lone, my body rests
May the earth lie lightly upon my defenseless spoils
Void, epiphany of absence
Fading all my senses into the eternal night
Vacuum
Time, the day we'll be gone
The sleep of no return
Where everything's clear
Fame resounds in the words
The true epitaph that will live forever
Pain, afflicting the hearts
Infecting the souls
It's carved in the memories of our sons
Face what we've become
It shapes in the mirror a man we don't know

Time, illusion of our mind
The nemesis of the most foolish longing
Eternity is...
Fame, when back to dust again, is inert
And all that remains, it can be love or...
Pain we inflicted on other men
Infernal torment lasts for the ones we leave behind
Face, oh who we really are
Laid bare before the highest judge...the memory

Shine!
Before returning to dust
Accept the finite nature of flesh and carpe diem
Live each day as if it's your last
Unburdened of paralyzing dreads, move past
As the master taught us

Cold, the hand of fate
Cruel, falls down relentless the curtain on passing flesh
Death, the close of existence
The mother of all fears and despair of mankind
Is nothing but...life
