lyrics

Until the End

I sat alone
enveloped in the skies of the velvet helm
on a line outside of time
I caught soft dreams
like tears of dragons fire in the ebon tide
cascading memories

I grasped the seams
aching for the feel of the energy
the draining of my needs
Come back and taste
the milky-way consistency of dreams
and now I truly see

Tonight I take a life away
And it will come to me this way
And everything will ebb away
on the breeze
To drain the self in sad refrain
And watch it slowly dissipate
It gradually congeals
until I am at one with everything

I’m sorry
I’m waiting for the wine to rinse me clean
Such a delicate bouquet
Please forgive me
Filter out the thoughts that bring you down
The feelings that I bring

I want you to see
Want you to see this
Want you to hear
Want you to hear this
Want you to feel
Want you to feel this
Want you to be
Want you to be this

Tonight I take a life away
And it will come to me this way
And everything will ebb away, on the breeze
To drain the self in sad refrain
And watch it slowly dissipate
It gradually congeals until I am at one with everything

Until the End
