Gods of Debauchery

Ash to ash, dust to dust
End at last, time is done
Ash to ash, dust to dust
End at last, time is done

We revelled in starlight, we lay beneath Lucifer's gaze
We were here, destroying, creating
Taking what was and wasn't ours as we pleased
We loved carelessly, sweat and pleasure exploding in a decadent vortex

We wrote the symphonies of the seven seas
We sang the songs of the wind
We conducted the resplendent cacophonies
Of the planets whirling overhead

The way is shut, the path is lost, the bond is rust
From ash to ash, from dust to dust, the end at last
The way is shut, the path is lost, the bond is rust
The end at last, my time is done, my time is done

Ascending from nothing, a little spark in the abyss
Through lifetimes, we set the world ablaze
Burning bridges without a thought
We were gods amongst men
Invincible, immortal, immoral gluttons feasting on the

Symphonies of the seven seas
We sang the songs of the wind
When the heart has shed a thousand paper skins
The soul will know its twin

The way is shut, the path is lost, the bond is rust
From ash to ash, from dust to dust, the end at last
The way is shut, the path is lost, the bond is rust
The end at last, my time is done, my time is done

How does it feel to have all you wanted
No more mountains to climb, no cliffs left to dive
Far from a home that will never be again
You are an imitator trapped in a fortress
Built on falsely placed worship

Earth, give me your strength
Skies, lend me your range
Moon, lend me your light
Stars, guide my way

No seas too deep, no waves too high
No storms too rough, no journey too far
May winds fill my sails and stoke the fires in my heart

I will never go home
I burned that bridge long ago
Drained, now full of hate, I go on
Fuelled by the only truth I know

The way is shut, the path is lost, the bond is rust
From ash to ash, from dust to dust, the end at last
The way is shut, the path is lost, the bond is rust
The end at last, my time is done, my time is done

I will never go home
I burned that bridge long ago
Drained, now full of hate, I go on
Fuelled by the only truth I know
