Eaten by Age

Your days in the light are fading
Eternal darkness welcomes you
Thoughts crumble to ashes
And are lost in cruel nothingness
Torn away, fallen, eaten by age
Torn away, fallen, eaten by age
You wander through time
To eternal oblivion
Eternal oblivion
Eternal oblivion
For you are weary with turmoil
Still we grief when the time has come
The beating drums slow down
And the stillness sets in
Torn away, fallen, eaten by age
Torn away, fallen, eaten by age

Unfathomable Shadows
04:02

There are terrors lurking
All around us
In the shadows
Of time
A silent relentless hunter
Indifferent to her prey
Unseen like the wind
Hunting us all
The future‘s not set in stone
We are masters of our choices
Still the end is inevitable
From the very beginning
Creeping in the dark
The shadows are my realm
No one will escape
This everflowing stream
A silent relentless hunter
Indifferent to her prey
Unseen like the wind
Hunting us all
Terror
Lurking
In the shadows
Prey to the hunter
Unseen
Like the wind
No one
No one
Will escape

Chronos/Kairos
07:41

Day after day we strive forward
Standing still is not an option
In this never ending race
For absolute perfection
We are always ready
Optimize us till it hurts
Life is rushing past us
In the end nothing remains
Time is of the essence
In a blink of the eye
It is lost forever
So choose wisely
Chronos, kairos
Kairos, chronos
Consciously we live to see
Every second passing by
An intentional tampered cadence
To breathe and to live
A chance to seize
A moment to act
Live our lives with depth and meaning
Worth remembering
Time is of the essence
In a blink of the eye
It is lost forever
So choose wisely
Chronos, kairos
Kairos, chronos
Try not to lock down time
Using all technology
Rather be in the moment
The here and the now
Be very aware
How fast life goes by
Use your time
Follow your desires

Infinity
05:42
|
|||
|
Everything we know
Will disintegrate in time
All that will be left
Are particles drifting through the darkness
We don’t matter, we’re meaningless
Non-existence is a visceral anxiety
Focus on the brief moment we have
And experience wonder
There will be a last sentient being
There will be a last thought
There will be one last breath
There’ll always be infinity
We can’t measure the infinite
Life is just a sliver of time
Nothing is permanent
For a just short while we are here
We don’t matter, we’re meaningless
Non-existence is a visceral anxiety
Focus on the brief moment we have
And experience wonder

Sequence of Existence
06:08
|

|
Time is just a sequence of existence
A string of moments, a fleeting persistence
Time may seem like a cruel master
It can’t be stopped, it moves faster and faster
Time is a sequence, a chain of events
Each second a link, in a line that never ends
We move through it one step at a time
Creating memories, leaving moments behind
Time is a river, flowing endlessly on
Carrying us forward, until our days are gone
It marches on, with unrelenting force
A never-ending journey, a never-ending course
Pulsing in cosmic rhythms
In irreversible succession
But time is fleeting
It passes in a blink
So cherish every moment
Before it’s gone in a wink
The past is behind us
A trail left in our wake
The future’s uncertain
An unknown path ahead

My roots reach to
The heart of the universe
Aeons are no more than a moment
I was alone at the beginning
In the black vastness
I was before everything
I always was
I am
And ever will be
Urthum am I
I witnessed
When something came out of nothing
And existence became reality
I’ve seen the birth of stars
And the death of galaxies
I was before everything
I always was
I am
And ever will be
Urthum am I
