The Numbing Stillness Lyrics

That which becomes must perish

Yet sees the world through eager eyes

Moments held in dying breaths and living lies

With dread approach the hour

Of the sorrows yet to be

Undying… locked in faith's embrace

Until... the numbing stillness takes us all

What remains is a vessel in decay

The numbing stillness takes us all

Awakened just to fade away

A way forth to delectation

Their coward souls in line to abdicate autonomy

To live entwined with the troth of eternal life

And the mortal chains that hold

Unbound… from the fate of flesh

Yet still... the numbing stillness takes us all

What remains is a vessel to decay

The numbing stillness takes us all

Existing just to fade away

"It will not shine again

Its sad course is done

I have seen the last ray wane

Of the cold, bright sun."

The servile weep, a mournful shuddering cry

A waking sleep for those who deify

And linger in vain for a sign

Withered, drawn upon themselves

A nagging doubt within them dwells

Deeper still the mooring pulls

Holds fast to the unversed fools

"Deserted one!

Thy corpse lies cold

And mingled with a foreign mould"

The servile weep, a mournful shuddering cry

A waking sleep for those who deify

In the end, the tyrant claims its price

Imminent, the voyage of demise

That which becomes must perish

Yet staves the end at any cost

Moments are delayed and lost

The dreadful hour of the sorrows meant to be

Unyielding … merciless is the blade of fate

The numbing stillness takes us all

What remains is a vessel to decay

The numbing stillness takes us all

Resisting just to fade away

"For the time when in my breast

Their struggles will be over!

For the day when I shall rest

And never suffer more!"

The servile weep, a mournful shuddering cry

A waking sleep for those who deify
