All Life Ends - At The Gates Lyrics - Gardens Of Grief - At The Gates

My life fades, my visions dim 

all that remains are memories 

I remember a time of chaos 

time of war 

as men began to feed on man 

only the scavengers survived 

gone now, swept away 

for reasons long forgotten 

touched of a blase 

which engulfed them all 

a firestorm of fear 

the answer is written in their bones 

all life ends 

I remember an old man 

griping my wrist, he was dying 

"imagine", he said 

"looking into the eyes of a nova, 

the bursting flames, the roar of it's energy 

frintly echoing down the corridors of time, 

whispering: all life ends 

"death, he said "is like a bolt of lightning, 

Light cast upon every secret, 

just for a moment, till the last spark of life fades 

and all is dark..." 

then he breathed out his last breath into my ear 

his gaze already way out among the stars... 

among the ruins of the past 

I shelter from the storm 

my mind is numb from the lonliness 

and the rain that never stops 

this wasteland, once a beautiful place 

where trees and flowers grew 

where deer, and squirells had their home 

now rotting are their bones 

Where raging waters grind the earth 

I go to end my days 

the sea that witnessed mankinds birth 

shall watch us die again 

black and deep, 

empty of life 

as in the heaven so below 

the sun has now forever set 

and bids our time to go 

I am tired 

and I fear not 

the cold that now descends 

as light grows dim, I bid farewell 

all life ends 

I am leaving now, my body stiff 

just watching for a while 

that rigid shell, so small and weak 

a corpse on a broken cliff 

the stars are calling me now 

with distant, speechless voices 

and caught by a wind I drift away 

and nothing calls me to stay... 

I am ridint the wind that has no name, 

the fire that burns without a flame 

caught by the spell on which all depends, 

all life ends 

the answer is written in my bones, 

all life ends
