Left a trail so deep, after a lifetime in hell They retreat into a calm, and a dark Acceptance of time and the end of what we know It's cold when you look in their eyes, their claws are meant to hold And to hold and to hold and to hold But what they truly are, you'll never know Away, fade away In a darker shade of black they fade away They left for something to fill, a long time ago Found a way to the stars End up as black holes descended from sky Away, fade away In a darker shade of black they fade away Lords of war and birds of death and pain In a darker shade of black they fade away
