Vanished Lyrics - Foundations Of Burden - Pallbearer

All the distant nights 

That vanished from my mind 

Hang like glistening knives 

In the back of my mind 

I can almost see 

The phantoms gone in the past 

What could I ever trade 

For all that's escaped in time? 

What can dreams be if nothing ever lasts 

In a future where everything's made of glass 

Each moment carves a piece away 

Of the sculpture shaped by the passing of days 

Hands ever change the days 

As monuments turn to rust 

In the grasp of the infinite 

All mountains crumble to dust 

Arising from nothing 

The short dance of existing 

We're always shifting 

And always becoming
