Departure

Finally silent the echo and take with me
No one to take on the world that I've known
This body has gone to the ends of the earth
But may never know any place to call home

Let the centuries see
Let the centuries light

What matter can shatter the surface now
What makes you think there's a purpose, how
Do you live like your past is a god
Well, I live like the future is dead and lost

Let the centuries see
Let the centuries light

This is time, that you never were meant to know
Some time, it's a knife it'll cut you up
I take this wherever I go
And what lies ahead nobody can know

Finally silent the echo and take with me
No one to take on the world that I've known
This body has gone to the ends of the earth
But may never know any place to call home

A long way for any other
I will come to pass in time
The story closes on another
Day of fire, fate of mine

The dove, the eagle, and the vulture
Fly from the flesh into the ever after

Finally silent the echo and take with me
No one to take on the world that I've known
This body has gone to the ends of the earth
But may never know any place to call home
