We believe to be eternal until we face the point of no return All state of grace is transient All shall die and turn to ashes and dust Desacralized, desensitized We chasing the light just wishing to live a little more It's like a hole inside our chest A clear cut bleeding, always open wide To reach the apex of life is to walk in a vale of tears Heavens still remain out of sight wherever we watch To reach the apex of life is to walk in a vale of tears We shine to finally dissolve in oblivion and be absolved through death We've looked for strength through joy Deprivation is all what we get We've kept on trying to reach the stars And deny mortality We rise to better fall, condemned to rust and crumble for centuries To behold the leftovers of our dreams now turn to smoking ruins We ride the whirlwind of doom A gigantic storm Of cataclysmic and catastrophic proportions It's like a hole inside our chest A clear cut bleeding, always open wide To reach the apex of life is to walk in a vale of tears Heavens still remain out of sight wherever we watch To reach the apex of life is to walk in a vale of tears We shine to finally dissolve in oblivion and be absolved through death
