1. THE WANDERER

Among worthlessness a glimmer remains
Hope faintly gleaming from an unreachable distance
And what if I fall short of capturing this solace ?
For centuries I've stared, forlorn
Not a moment closer

Am I already left behind ?
Has the light withered and died ?

Away, take my soul far from here
I depart, leaving no trace of me

If I'm gone, no mark will remain
As there's nothing left of me to leave behind
No living being will remember my name
There are no songs to be sung for the nameless


2. AGE UPON AGE

Beneath this vision of beauty rests a tomb
The forgotten exalted laid to rest
But what of these gods will be remembered
When all has withered and gone ?

No gods remain
Age upon age will slowly forget
So falls the rain
Washing clean the earth
Of those hiding from the truth

No gods are here
Nor were they there
But this beauty will always remain
As will death
Until the final sun has set
A bitter cruelty resounds through every sentient being

Don't mourn this passing
For they won't mourn you
As time obscures everything you once knew

Behold the dawning
Of a new age
Unwatched by the gods you hail

Time moves ever onwards with or without you
But this world sustains
