Resonance In Aether

Our bleak days wither in
The infinite flood of time
Soon displaced melancholy
Hearts brightened with reckoning
Man walks with treachery
Eyes open but unseeing

Modern times breed disgust
Amidst broken realms and squalor
Dark light in their eyes
My soul fills with famine

Relinquish this madness
A task for the wretched
The end is near
No matter how distant
Souls bathing in black
My vision turns starry

Awakening from the dream
Of civilization's delusion
These ghosts of past failures
Haunt the pale light of the end
Somber forms turn to shadows
And dance engulfed in the blaze

Streets crawl with lifeless corpses
Marching to slow demise
Heads down in complacence
They fade into the distance
Arms folded in obedience
Subdued by ignorance and fear

All voices soon silenced
With fire and ash that cloaks
Our despair like moonlit fog
This world will be liberated
As embers of the past
Vanish in the nigh
