Everything Fades

Despite the pacts and
The friends that we've all made
There is but one certainty,
In the end, everything fades...

This is it, the last hoorah,
From here on out, there
There are no returns

The division bell rings...

Where are the sacred ones
Who once gathered together
In perpetual unity?

Where are the friends
That you used to know?
All now silent, shrunken
And solemnly sullen
Faces, vacant and all
Together uninviting

Strangers adorn
Familiar eyes
And through strange hours
You linger alone

No eternal atonement
Will forgive you for
Wasting lifes few
Fleeting moments

I can't live through
The slow anguish of
Your musings...

Run now into the
Arms of your saviour,
You may never get
Another chance again...

(Everything fades)

...and then there were none

What it was and what it is
Should have never been,
For the life in me,
I don't know what
You ever saw in me.

Lovers come, lovers go,
Leave me as just a passing thought
I'm the one love will never know,
I'm the one that love forgot

I've tried,
Oh God how I've tried,
Time and time again
But I've failed my friends,
My lovers, my family
Love can never become of me

If you ever loved me at all
You would do us both by right
If you just let this one fall...

(Everything fades)

The night is calm cool and clear
There will be much blood shed in here...

If you knew what was best for you
You will do what cowards do
You will flee far from here
Find some place and disappear

...And in walked the maiden of joy
Soft and slow, sleek and seductive...

...She was on him in an instant
Manic murder, seething with rage
Blind like the fury of madness,
Lusting for blood with a war to rage

Crimson runs a
Rapid rivers flow
Deep and surging with pride
Evening celebrates
The joy it can not hide
Someone dies, one man cries,
The innocent must be tried...

Despite the friends
And pacts we’ve all made
There is but one certainty
In the end, everything fades
