All Life Ends - At the Gates

My life fades my visions dim

All that remains are memories

I remember a time of chaos

Time of war

As men began to feed on man

Only the scavengers survived

Gone now swept away

For reasons long forgotten

Touched of a blase

Which engulfed them all

A firestorm of fear

The answer is written in their bones

All life ends

I remember an old man

Griping my wrist he was dying

Imagine he said

Looking into the eyes of a nova

The bursting flames the roar of it's energy

Frintly echoing down the corridors of time

Whispering all life ends

Death he said is like a bolt of lightning

Light cast upon every secret

Just for a moment till the last spark of life fades

And all is dark

Then he breathed out his last breath into my ear

His gaze already way out among the stars

Among the ruins of the past

I shelter from the storm

My mind is numb from the lonliness

And the rain that never stops

This wasteland once a beautiful place

Where trees and flowers grew

Where deer and squirells had their home

Now rotting are their bones

Where raging waters grind the earth

I go to end my days

The sea that witnessed mankinds birth

Shall watch us die again

Black and deep

Empty of life

As in the heaven so below

The sun has now forever set

And bids our time to go

I am tired

And I fear not

The cold that now descends

As light grows dim I bid farewell

All life ends

I am leaving now my body stiff

Just watching for a while

That rigid shell so small and weak

A corpse on a broken cliff

The stars are calling me now

With distant speechless voices

And caught by a wind I drift away

And nothing calls me to stay

I am ridin't the wind that has no name

The fire that burns without a flame

Caught by the spell on which all depends

All life ends

The answer is written in my bones

All life ends
