its all over, a new beginning is here
retracing before to overcome again
scraping through all the withered places
returning to all that once was cherished
hopelessly decaying just like the others

    so many years that will go by
    so many times that god will die
    so many faces, all the same
    so many times it will remain

the changes slowly pass in time
morphing into all the same
ruptured glass punctures the skull
time slows down as the sun burns away
smothering the memory never to be

    so many years have now gone by
    so many times that god has died
    so many faces now decay
    so many times it still remains

phantom sinners led into the unknown
across the deserts, closer home
molten stars fall from the sky
eradication once again too soon
farther away than ever before

    so many years that wont go by
    so many times that god has lied
    so many faces that cannot stay
    so many times, all that remains

distorted faintly
slowly fallen
drowning
smothered
gone
