Eternity Gleaming lyrics

From the world we know

Comes a voice that beckons on

The visage of eternity gleaming

In lack-lustre looks of the doomed

As though presented to be known

They bear themselves in finality

In the last monets of breath

To the unrealized angel of death

Such a curse to have fallen upon

To know the hour of their end

For those who see it, fear it

Their lives touched in an instant

Irony laughs in struggling gasps

Bestown insight to sense extent

Saving lives, a surreal satire

That reaches out in passing

Obliged to keep its shadow close

A constant companion of life

As the dark night follows day

So must reside, the angel of death

To look into their eyes

And to view their very souls

Incapsulated for transition

They vanish instantly in a blink

The glimmer of life reflected

Now gives way to to a hollow stare

A temple once alit with warmth

Transforms to a cold hollow hulk

A voiceless, soulless carcass

A name only to pass to stone

And to the vague dominion

That whirls in a spinning earth
