Through the ages
I’ve known a thousand worlds
Each shattered moment mine a lie
Roll the dice
Take it all away again
When am I allowed to die?
A billion lifetimes
From the dawn of infinity
Cruelty happiness and hate
They flayed me, drowned me
Betrayed me and crowned me
Which was worse I cannot say
The fear, the pain, the curse of immortality
Runs deep, runs cold, runs flowing through my veins
Once more I begin a journey through time and space
And then the light is here, and then it all is clear
I was a god
A billion souls enslaved
But here I am right now encaged
So bizarre
The fate that has led me here
Will this be the end for me?
Can’t get out
No way to shout
Will this water cage
Be my final grave?
These lives I’ve lived
Each death a cruel formality
And so I wait and long for my sweet end
Although I dream of blissful black eternity
I know I’ll live a billion lifetimes more
