Ripped from the Void Lyrics

Ripped from the void

Ripped from the void

Into the chaos of existence

With the burden of consciousness bestowed

Upon a body so frail

My spirit longs to return

From calvary to the affectionate arms

Of that infinite darkness

Yet in time's grasp

Moments unfold

Eternity breathes

To reveal the static circle

All suffering souls endure

Ripped from the void

With no promise of contentment

No declaration of freedom from distress

The only certainty is the final return

And in that blackness

Stretching beyond the bounds of reality

I will find peace everlasting

In the folded veil of temporality

Yet in a desert scorched by misery

Seeping slowly into sand

And dried by time's cruel hand

Joy comes like rain

Teaching tree leaves to whisper

Joy comes like rain

As a tempest screams

When eternity

Exists in a single moment

Joy and suffering

Intertwine like mother and child

Ripped from the void

Only to return again

At long last

Comes the gentle release

From time's callous hand

At long last

This body, frail

From the weight of consciousness

And many years, now faint, of moments unfolded

Sheds it's homesick spirit

Bound for the calm embrace

Of that unclouded nothingness
