The Eternity Play Lyrics

Long ago, a shadowed director unseen

Dreamed of staging a play about eternity's theme

Now we're like puppets, all tied to strings

Bound to a script where no freedom rings

In this senseless, endless, eternal show

We play our parts in the roles so low

And tears fall from heaven, salty and cold

The gods as spectators, their pain uncontrolled

They can't hold back, as they watch the despair

Actors condemned in the madness laid bare

The savage designs, so cruel and blind

Strike fear in the heart, leave reason behind

In this senseless, endless, eternal show

We play our parts in the roles so low

Yet we pray to the one who directs our stage

Hoping for moments of fleeting grace

But battles rage on, wars never cease

As death brings the curtain, and all find release

And once again, in this darkest of tales

The heroes are lost, as the story derails

No happy ending will ever unfold

On Eternity's Stage, where the madness takes hold

In this senseless, endless, eternal show

We play our parts in the roles so low
