A Lost Battle Rages On

A lost battle rages on Invisible yet all embracing A great war without fight or violence Between what is and what never was See sons of pride and strife Stare, look at the doom that destroys us The parables of life and death collapses And reveals a black sun On the spherical battleground Heirs of this petty world disband Running blindly through a maze With a thousand doors and a single key See sons of pride and strife Stare, look at the fate that consumes us Behold the monolith of flesh that emerges And the raving sky there over Lifting into eerie piles Left to rot in lavish filth Wretched earthly souls that come and leave Wandering on the horizon with no way and no future A neverending descent, a journey to the beyond Helpless soldiers unarmed and trapped Soon devoured by oblivion Lightening up just to die In a moment lost in time Quivering sparks in the abyss They once lived, laughed and grieved A distant echo of the past A thousand worlds of old See sons of pride and strife Stare, look at the end that awaits us And now carry the weight of your shameful form of man Behold the monolith of flesh that emerges And the raving sky there over Lifting into eerie piles Left to rot in lavish filth Lost is this battle, run for your life Reaches through the flesh and the sublime Where dwellers of the sky, earth and sea Will escape soon from these tragedies
