Distant Shadows

Passing through eternity to where we all begin
Tearing down the legacy, a tragedy of sin
Searching for the age-old truth beyond our mortal scars
The past, a distant shadow, and the future, just as far

Distant shadows hide the truth
Corruption and decay
Sing another melody, black
Another dying day

Mired in our Calvary, an emptiness of place
We shamble ever forward as we mock that cold embrace
Stark between the remnants of the living Hell we made
A destiny of darkness, and a past of deeper shade

Distant shadows hide the truth
Corruption and decay
Sing another melody, black
Another dying day

We hurtle toward a future that can never be remade
To hang our heads in mourning as we join the dark parade
Beginning of the ending as we shed our final tears
And tread the grim horizon of our never-ending fears

Distant shadows hide the truth
Corruption and decay
Sing another melody, black
Another dying day
Another dying day
