Destiny's End - First You Dream, Then You Die Lyrics
Real lives fade, but dreams flare onApproaching the edge, thoughts sore highOne thing is certainThat is your life must endWithering to ashesYou'll meet oblivionAwaiting the scythe to steal each moment from your lungsUnderneath the cold stars, you'll stand your groundDancing through night lands evading death's endsShadows will stalk you through all your daysAnnihilation before the dawnFirst you'll dream of scenes divineAnd truths beyond reality's lieFirst you'll seek goals soaring highNever knowing when you'll dieYour days are numbered on this earthRisk awaits you at every turnSomeday you'll end it allIgnore possibilitiesFrom out of nowhereYour quest renews againThe pain of living outweighs uncertaintyEach precious moment is worth the waitShocking awareness, chances not to wasteNothing is perfect, no dream equalJust one companion, the guise of death ahead[Chorus]Random cosmic scheme, like a falling beamSnuffing out your life, spiting best laid plansMundane existence saps your blood awayCalling you morbid, you know the truth alone[Leads: Dan, Perry]Just one millions, a flickering lifeSimply awaiting the winds of fateOne thing is certainThat is your life must endWithering to ashesYou'll meet oblivionFollow ancient footsteps, a path that's so well knownStagnant existence, fit patterns setYour presence on this earth is the only time to learnForge one creation, significanceOne deviation before the end[Chorus]
