So dead yet so lifelike.
When you raise your eyes
And gaze at the sunset
And scream and dance
Oh, keep dancing,
keep singing,
keep dying.
Your world is crumbling.
Your time passed long ago.
Watch your empire
turn into dust.
Watch the ruins
Being taken away
Piece by piece
Dying under the saw
Burning up in flames
Dissapearing underneath citadels of debree.
It's now time
for you
to vanish away while you can still breathe.
