The Crown Remnant - The End of Days

It all surrounds us
The rot fits the heart and face of men
Tired skin that binds us
Old withered souls from within
You can watch the changes,
Fill a book with the world's unrest
And burrow through the pages,
Just to find the beginning of the end
Cycle through the ages
And the pace of darkness
Quickening within
And stand to watch the world drown in its sin
When calamity falls
One salute to you all
And it all will pass you by
And the dead won't cry
With the lesson learned in life
That nothing survives
I stood atop the world
And saw through ephemeral eyes
History was born and died
And myth sprang into life
I held it all in my hands
I felt it in the air
On and on the wars that still remain
The gods we fought for, men that died in vain
Raise the martyrs' flag for years on end
And shroud the reasons, blinded sheep were led
Well in the center of it all you stay content to play pretend
And all the pleading in the world won't get you to make amends
And it all will pass you by
And the dead won't cry
With the lesson learned in life,
Nothing survives
Take a breath inside
Steeling all your mind
Pity won't stay blind
At least not in this life
Praying, to be saved
Pretending, that will change things
Here, at the end of the world
Whoa
And it all will pass you by
And the dead won't cry
With the lesson learned in life,
Nothing survives
And it all will pass you by
And the dead won't cry
With the lesson learned in life,
Nothing survives
