lyrics

I'm not alive
But not quite gone
Distant wails call to me
But I can't feel anything anymore
Except the gravity of my fate

The ones that came before me
Now anticipate my embrace

The faces of my kin
Hollowing my tale fades
And I join my ancestors forevermore

This is much easier than I thought it would be
Just like slipping, slipping into a dream
Drifting further down the stygian stream
And I see there's no difference between now and eternity
Eternity

A passage reveals itself
As I'm guided by spirits
I make my way

The ones that came before me
Now anticipate my embrace

So leave me here underground
A cold cairn for my bones
So leave me here make no sound
An adorned grave of stone

Then I hear the song as it rides on the wind (to take me home)
Then I hear the song as it rides on the wind (to take me home)
Then I hear the song as it rides on the wind (to take me home)
Then I hear the song as it rides on the wind
It's a lullaby to remind us that
We all end up leaving the ones that we love
