[Intro]
Stately columns standing in solemn rows
Such empty honours are suitable for those
Whose death erases all renown and fame
And vanquishes their glory with their name
[verse 1]
Wandering aimlessly through dead filled fields
Rewards are just
Who knows what absence yields?
[Chorus]
By the golden beauty of dusk
And the sun low in our sky
By the haunting shadows of trees
And graves mesmerized am I
[Verse 2]
Searching deep inside trying to reach my dreams
I see a face stare back at me
Oh so serene
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Those whispering shades
Sad silent glades
[Bridge]
But not for those whose superior worth
After death extols them to the earth
I would even venture to assume
That one need not build for them a tomb
By human art, since glory heaven sent
Serves them as a living monument
[Outro]
Pain is a far away land
Misery
A lifetime's journey
And I lust for death (judgement)
