Lyrics

Stately columns standing in solemn rows
Such empty honours are suitable for those
Whose death erases all renown and fame
And vanquishes their glory with their name
Wandering aimlessly through dead filled fields
Rewards are just who knows what absence yields?
By the golden beauty of dusk and the sun low in our sky
By the haunting shadows of trees and graves, mesmerized am I
Searching deep inside trying to reach my dreams
I see a face stare back at me... oh, no serene
By the golden beauty of dusk and the sun low in our sky
By the haunting shadows of trees and graves, mesmerized am I
But not for those whose superior worth
After death extols them to the earth
Oh I would even venture to assume
The one need not build for them a tomb
By human art, since glory heaven sent
Serves them as a living monument
Those whispering shades... sad, silent glades
Pain is a far away land, that misery, a lifetime's journey...
...and I lust for death
