Lyrics To Wander the Void - While Heaven Wept

To Wander the Void

A million miles from everything the emptiness is everywhere
The lone and level sands stretch as far as I can see
Nothing but the hollowed eyes of skulls and ancient bones despair
Remains of those who wandered this wasteland vast before me
Fatigue and famine render every step a tribulation
Beneath the blistering sun sabulous winds just a mockery
Lost within an infinity of dust and desolation
The vultures circling overhead await my lonely expiry
Maintaining this course to nowhere I have traveled so far
Far beyond the valley’s carnage and death’s silent repose
Compelled to journey onward by the calling of the morning star
Haunted by visions and voices, memories or madness providence only knows
I can’t remember when or how I’d first lost my way
Thirsting even a tear of solace knowing naught will ever come
Siren celestial have mercy on me allow my flesh into dust decay
And carry my soul far beyond this damned and forsaken kingdom
I fell to my knees as the last trace of strength slowly faded away
With stone in throat I knew I’d never reach the hallowed and promised land
I conceded my carcass a vulture’s feast, my soul eternal umbrae
Once a king, now nameless, forgotten, swallowed by the seas of sand
