Don't be fooled by your wanton desires
For I have bathed in your funeral pyres
Once I was not but a young man
Memories lost to the shifting sands
Of time! Of Time!!!
Take my hand and follow
To the caverns below
Beneath the hollow shell
The river of death must flow.
Rivers of twilight, Dance through my mind
Denied man's gift, I'm left behind
Tortured by loneliness, driven insane
No chance that I'll have peace again.
Bargain struck the deal has been made
Price is set to live beyond the grave
Is it worth it to gain immortality
Life without death, man's greatest fallacy
Always seek to live beyond your means
Was your life not as good as it seemed?
You will dwell in the hell that you built
Forced to live with your fears and your guilt
Watch your loved ones wither and die
Taken to heaven to be buried
In the sky! In The Sky!!!
Take my hand and follow
To the caverns below
Beneath the hollow shell
The river of death must flow.
Rivers of twilight, Dance through my mind
Denied man's gift, I'm left behind
Tortured by loneliness, driven insane
No chance that I'll have peace again.
