All Light Swallowed

Hollow echoes of oblivion Illusions of blinded minds Dissolving traces leading nowhere Empty eyes gazing at the barren sky Awaiting the end to come Listen for the silentness Their soughs a timeless mourning, an endless grief, an endless grief Whispering leaves crumbling beneath their feet Seas of shade-grown funeral flowers blown away lives of faceless precursors All light swallowed, all light swallowed down within the void Disassociated from what was left to them All light swallowed A dreadful wound that never heals They wreathed among the soil, they kneel Soulless masses, drifting shapes Streaming through asphyxiation Grasping their desperate essences Multiplying their silent screams Taking from them what was never theirs Erasing their mark Grasping, multiplying, taking - erasing their mark Hollow echoes of oblivion Passing the last frontier None of them saw the signs Ignorant in despise All light swallowed, all lightswallowed down within the void Disassociated from what was left to them all light swallowed Their dreadful wound will never heal They wreathed among the soil, they kneel Behind them graves of generations Streaming through asphyxiation
