A stark grey world appears before his eyes Like a melancholic whisper fading in the wind Ashen daylight thickens for each painful step To fall asleep just to wake up to a dying world To a dying world ♪ Visions of that vibrant, opulent field Her erstwhile writings, now a distant memory ♪ I yearn to fuse with this cold earth I beg to return to a state of worth In oceans of rust and decay I swim On this lurid path I sing my final hymn ♪ Sisyphean cycles and sulphurous skies I yearn to die but I am being denied ♪ Derelict monuments forgotten by mankind The sky has lost its meaning and lo, the sun is now blind To wander this world-wide cenotaph forever Misery is the only light in this endeavour
