As a Fading Sun We Lie

As ships adrift in the sea of sorrow
As flags torn in the winds of pain
For how long will I feel hollow
Like cold dust drifting in vain?

We rise and fall, as light withdraws
As a fading Sun we lie
As if darkness fell from the sky

We, the kings, reigning over nothing
Dying candles, flames in the wind
It all comes down to this: A spark in nothingness
A drop of sorrow in the desert of grief

We rise and fall, as light withdraws
As a fading Sun we lie
As if darkness fell from the sky

There are only shadows in our souls
