The End

Desperate, crying, lost, frightened
Starving, lying, scared, enlightened
Endless, fearless, brutal, hated
Wandering, searching, dying, fated

The end is near
And so shall come
Time unto time
Until all’s undone

Journeys end
As journeys must
With dark and light
And hate and trust

Feel the power
Feel the fear
Feel the beginning
The end is near

Time to come
So we can go
Out of the ebb
Away from the flow

Ghosts and shadows
Of lives long past
Have come again
Have come at last

To reclaim hearts
And lives the same
To end the world
To finish the game

We all must now
Choose our side
Light or dark
To fight or hide

We will see
At world’s end
Who is real
And who’s pretend

Firey fate
Or blessed be
What will become
Of you and me?

Shall we live
Or shall we die?
Wander the Earth
Under empty skies?

What will be left
After all is gone?
A new beginning?
A different song?

Who will rise?
And who will fall?
Who will answer
Fate’s final call?

Endings come
And endings go
Beginnings start
New seeds to sow

From out of ashes
Springs new life
With its new dreams
And unknown strife

Come to me
Those warriors still
Hear my plea
Answer my will

We shall have a battle to come
When all on Earth shall come undone
When Fates and Furies alike collide
And Gods battle Gods to turn the tide

Turmoil will rage
Across the land
One power to conquer
One power to stand

Subjugated, chained, imprisoned, held
Dark, Light, envisioned, meld
Grey, victory, battles, wars
Sky, empty, fallen, scars

Land, destruction, barren, ceased
Lives, erased, hopeless, released
And so the end shall consume us all
For life, for death, for one last Fall.
