Ode to Death

Night, the days are waxing bleak
December ice forms on the bough
A branch that severs a soulless leaf
Light dwindles into fall

The brine's abiding ebb and flow
Pulsating rhythm of the sea
Alternating tides move seamlessly
As ocean storms draw near

Oh, oh
Oh, yeah, oh!

The clutches of winter
Ushering death and awakening again
The grasp of time
Overthrowing inequity and harmony
Crude are the gods of men
Civilizations raised in their name
For whom has blood been shed
Just to be awashed in eternity?

Generations lost in toil
Futility of conquests and triumphs
Implanted monoliths
Bearing new laws from superior life
Gone be the memories
Progress demands sacrifice
On through a world of stars
Gravity swallows our sighs of dying

To Jupiter and beyond
Beyond infinity
On and on through space and time
To unknown stellar domains

Yeah, yeah
Death brings me a prayer, come on

To Jupiter and beyond
Beyond infinity
On and on through space and time
To unknown stellar domains

To Jupiter and beyond
Beyond infinity
On and on through space and time
To unknown stellar domains

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
