Lyrics
It came across the hills
That unseen roiling mass
It braved capricious seas
And every mountain pass
When life holds no meaning
When pale mourning dawns
Thin strands of purpose unravel
The bleakness of it all
The grand final harshness
A sign of our fall
Prepare the soul for departure
Await the fate of us all
Death, I beseech thee
Grant me thy swift release
Death, I become thee
Roaming this hellish domain
In splendor the sun sets
Upon human remains
Is there no salvation
No relief from thy meted judgment
You have taken them all
Into thy kingdom
Why was I abandoned
Left to fend for myself
In this nightmare
Where only the dead remain
What transgression so vile
What sin committed
That I must suffer from life
Where all others die
When life holds no meaning
When pale mourning dawns
Thin strands of purpose unravel
The bleakness of it all
Always present
To the mind's eye
Those of my flesh
Their bleak spirits
Never moving on
That unseen roiling mass
It braved capricious seas
And every mountain pass
When life holds no meaning
When pale mourning dawns
Thin strands of purpose unravel
The bleakness of it all
The grand final harshness
A sign of our fall
Prepare the soul for departure
Await the fate of us all
Death, I beseech thee
Grant me thy swift release
Death, I become thee
Roaming this hellish domain
In splendor the sun sets
Upon human remains
Is there no salvation
No relief from thy meted judgment
You have taken them all
Into thy kingdom
Why was I abandoned
Left to fend for myself
In this nightmare
Where only the dead remain
What transgression so vile
What sin committed
That I must suffer from life
Where all others die
When life holds no meaning
When pale mourning dawns
Thin strands of purpose unravel
The bleakness of it all
Always present
To the mind's eye
Those of my flesh
Their bleak spirits
Never moving on
