The universe is fading like the gray mist at dawn Memories of a sleeping world are all but gone Once inside I'm made alive from earth and stone A brightness so black, blacker than ebon shores In solitude, every vision bears a fearful glow Illuminates the prison walls, my flesh and bones Whispering the sacred songs delivers me from wrath A narrow gate beyond which lay untrodden paths Welcomes me home The distant lights, Bring down the night They fill the sky The distant lights, the distant lights Ancestral fires burning The poison tree is growing The spaces between are lost in the cracks of time Yawning wide like a distant sky in the end The thinning veil where thoughts prevail and decay Rips away in fragile threads and distant lights
