Soulfallen - Expiration Lyrics
"To see a world in a grain of sand,And a heaven in a wild flower,Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,And eternity in an hour..."[William Blake]...but the poet failedAnd the carsons witheredNo more than earth upon my graveFor what can there be leftOf our time bereftWhen all but life is slainAnd the hours were always against usNight and day,Could not be bent to prolong our stayAnd despite our countless effortsTo dethrone the reign of timeThe hour came that we so fearedAnd now the light escaped my eyeAs your words is strength escape my earFor now I know...That this is no test of courageNo purpose left for all this painTo which a fool would only adhere toWhen there's no prizes left to claimAnd 'neath these ever-longing shadowsYour loving words I cannot hearFor my flame has diedAnd the beasts are drawing near...With an expired flame I shan't go onThis time I'll let the swans sing my song...
