Lyrics At the Road's End - Merzbow, Seeming

At the Road's End

At the road’s end
There’s only backwards
There’s only burial, a smoldering pyre
At the road’s end
Are the eyes of crows and
They glisten from the bulletproof briar
At the road’s end
There’s only blackness
A puking crevasse, a canyon wall
At the road’s end
Is just the open
Indifferent barbarian sprawl
It’s no fable
It’s no closure
It’s no circle
But it’s not over
There’s no shortcut
There’s no rushing
There’s no trusting
But here goes nothing
Straight on into wilderness
Forward into darkness
We’re goin' straight on into wilderness
Forward into darkness
Everything is real in this
Ain’t nothing here can stop us
Got no map, got no compass
We’re going right into the darkness
Straight on into wilderness
Forward into darkness
We’re goin' straight on into wilderness
Forward into darkness
Everything is real in this
Ain’t nothing here can stop us
Got no map, got no compass
We’re going right into the darkness
Straight on into wilderness
Forward into darkness
We’re goin' straight on into wilderness
Forward into darkness
Everything is real in this
Ain’t nothing here can stop us
Got no map, got no compass
We’re going right into the darkness
Straight on into wilderness
Forward into darkness
We’re goin' straight on into wilderness
Forward into darkness
Everything is real in this
Ain’t nothing here can stop us
Got no map, got no compass
We’re going right into the darkness
«And today, on Friday, February 10th, 2017, I had known my name,
I had known how tall I stood, I had known my hands, I had known my eyes,
and the color of the sun.»
«He was a golden boy on a golden horse.
And when he died, the Earth revolved
around him.»
And though I’ve run out of things to fear
Still I’m alive, I’m alive out here
Yes I’ve run out of things to fear
But I’m alive, still alive out here
It’s against the odds
And it’s against the gods
But there’s nothing left to fear
In this impossible frontier
And have I run out of things to say?
Well were you ever listening anyway?
And there’s a million words at play
And that’s not even halfway
I ignore the calls
And I ignore the walls
Until there’s nothing left to fear
In this impossible frontier
I am become the sacred seer
For I’m alive, I’m alive out here
And the air gets cold and clear
After the kiss of the atmosphere
It’s no time to blink
And it’s no time to think
And I’ve forgot the taste of fear
In this impossible
Straight on into wilderness
Forward into darkness
We’re goin' straight on into wilderness
Forward into darkness
And everything is real in this
Ain’t nothing here can stop us
Got no map, got no compass
Going forward into darkness
Straight into wilderness
Forward into darkness
Straight on into wilderness
Forward into darkness
And everything is real in this
Ain’t nothing here can stop us
Got no map, got no compass
We’re going forward into darkness
