Light stings his eyes Can't turn back now It was so slow that they couldn't predict it His mind is just treading in infinite space 'Cause he can't believe some mysterious chamber Broke a dangerous leak That turned to a storming sea it's swallowing up That last thing that he knew of beauty Was it all smoke and mirrors? A man walking in the room And sat by his son Here are the words that are meant to be spoken This is my purpose, of these words you should know: Close your eyes now This is the last strength you'll have Remember your life; it was a brilliant color Remember your mother; she was a glowing ember Remember your heart; it had a Perfect Owner Sleep now, diving up in pools Sleep sound, leave your fears to fools
