If Eternity Should Fail |
| Here is the soul of a man |
| Here in this place for the taking |
| Clothed in white, stand in the light |
| Here is the soul of a man |
| Time to speak with the shaman again |
| Conjure the jester again |
| Black dog in the ruins is howling my name |
| So here is the soul of a man |
| When the world was virgin before the coming of men |
| Just a solar witness, the beginning of the end |
| From a world of magma to a cold rock face |
| The ascent of madness and a human race |
| We are strange believers all of us |
| There are stranger truths immortal lust |
| We rise from slumber he calls our name |
| Recalls our number abide with pain |
| Reef in a sail at the edge of the world |
| If eternity should fail |
| Waiting in line for the ending of time |
| If eternity should fail |
| Reef in a sail at the edge of the world |
| If eternity should fail |
| Waiting in line for the ending of time |
| If eternity should fail |
| To god’s illusion which I recall |
| Was our delusion before the fall |
| The angels come and the angels go |
| But the lord of light shining below |
| Eternal blackness beyond the stars |
| We think our wisdom will get that far |
| At the master’s table, the table’s bare |
| No land of plenty, devastation, despair |
| Reef in a sail at the edge of the world |
| If eternity should fail |
| Waiting in line for the ending of time |
| If eternity should fail |
| Reef in a sail at the edge of the world |
| If eternity should fail |
| Waiting in line for the ending of time |
| If eternity should fail |
| Reef in a sail at the edge of the world |
| If eternity should fail |
| Waiting in line for the ending of time |
| If eternity should fail |
| Reef in a sail at the edge of the world |
| If eternity should fail |
| Waiting in line at the ending of time |
| If eternity should fail |
| Reef in a sail at the edge of the world |
| If eternity should fail |
| Waiting in line at the ending of time |
| If eternity should fail |
| Reef in a sail at the edge of the world |
| If eternity should fail |
| Waiting in line at the ending of time |
| If eternity should fail |
| Good day, my name is Necropolis |
| I am formed of the dead |
| I am the harvester of the soul meat |
| And I suck the lives from around my bed |
| My own two sons I gave them breath |
| And I filled their living corpses with my bile |
| What humanity I knew I have long forgotten |
| For me eternity is nothing but a short while |
