lyrics

In the silence that saturated the darkness
I stopped the merging of worlds
Stripped of skin I let the stars dance in
Grew stiff where I once lay furled

I watched them obfuscate the radiant
The first fire ever set in the heart of all men
No reason unless fear is a reason
The power in living beyond a lifespan

And the silence is where I went to die
To live alive

I watched them denigrate the only guide
The natural state where we could have arrived
With malice beside ignorance
Their will to survive strangled by pride
And then strangled by time

So the silence is where I went to die
To live alive

The edge of the forest gave way to a thickness
Their structures and symbols turned into their sickness
I weep, they weep, want it all over fast
Their future becoming my past with a quickness

These are the last words I will ever write
In the silence where I want to die
To live alive.
