Lost within the man-made forests
The cities do not have a heart
Waiting for the end to start
And burn us from among these stones

The scorching purges of extinction
Will fracture concrete bark
To weep black molten sap,
Solidify to black amber

Look into my eyes and see, here
The world is at a bitter end
The waters of the flood have risen
And swallowed up dry land

Uncounted years hence, washed up
Upon a nameless shore
A murky gemstone beaconing
A vision of our dying world

Nostalgia, oblivion
Remember? I too lived
And of the end I dreamed
Each night like death not sleep

You spoke to me, your voice
Like song above the sea
What did you say to me?
It passed out of all knowing...

Pale distance towards a forgotten dawn
Sealed in amber, deep beneath the sea
See what distant eyes could see
The passage of their time turned stone
Amber - see the dead forest
That stood uncounted years before our birth
The pale dawn that warmed our ancestors
Gleaming through the petrified trees, long fallen

Amber of the murky waters
That pound upon the shore
Edging past the path of sorrow
Into the daylight world

The labyrinth beyond
Has swallowed up some souls
And not the first for sure
But to these goes my song

Heralding the pending darkness here
Gathering to greet the end
Wishes well and re-morse drained
For we shall never cross our paths again.
