The Paradox - Seven Spires

There is no afterlife

Only this

There is no afterlife

Only this

I have gazed upon these skies for a lifetime or more

The fiercest stars, collapsed on heaven’s floor

Airless and silent, the pathway from hell, destination endlessly far

Still, attempt to traverse through the black and frozen time

Behold the portal to the light

A tale of hope for those to die

With sings so cold and muscles tense, I could not make the journey’s end

With no blood left in my veins to bleed, and no tears left to shed

Never had I felt so alone

Taste this bitter darkness

This universe of emptiness that lies within us

That we lie within, and reside in awe and wonder

Stretching through matter and time unending

A beautiful mystery eternally unsolved

Become the dreamless, reach the void and see

Into the emptiness that birthed and denied me

Forsaken, we shall accept this as our truth

Dreaming in the language, but longing for our youth

Evasive is the ecstasy of sleep

I reach for that horizon, forever just out of reach

To cross the threshold into darkness

There is no afterlife

Only this

There is no afterlife

Only this

There is no afterlife

Only this

There is no afterlife

Only this
