Ekpyrosis (Preparing for a New Beginning)
Heavy clouds are opening
Adjusting the stream of time
The night that used to be silver and bright
Is lightened by a fiery grin in the sky
The stage on which life acts
Is the scenery where death plays
Is the world where we live
And our clock is ticking but time stands still
I feel the heat of flames on my skin
Telling me perdition has come
Stars are falling from the blood red sky
Crushing the earth, setting all its roots on fire
Dispelling our illusion of an immortal world we control
Preparing for a new beginning
The air we breathe burns our lungs
As the thoughts in our minds corrode our souls
Our homes are surrounded by shimmering air
Cities are deserted but crowded by flames
Our world of past times lost its reality
Like a painting falling into water
Mother earth is closing her eyes
These eyes of ash
Stars are falling from the blood red sky
Crushing the earth, setting all its roots on fire
Dispelling our illusion of an immortal world we control
Preparing for a new beginning
What used to be the deep blue sky
Now lightens up the woods in crimson red
Stars are falling from the blood red sky
Crushing the earth, setting all its roots on fire
Dispelling our illusion of an immortal world we control
Preparing for a new beginning
The stars that used to be my life
Have now they turned into my death?
For the last time I'm looking up to the stars
Will this really be the end?
Adjusting the stream of time
The night that used to be silver and bright
Is lightened by a fiery grin in the sky
The stage on which life acts
Is the scenery where death plays
Is the world where we live
And our clock is ticking but time stands still
I feel the heat of flames on my skin
Telling me perdition has come
Stars are falling from the blood red sky
Crushing the earth, setting all its roots on fire
Dispelling our illusion of an immortal world we control
Preparing for a new beginning
The air we breathe burns our lungs
As the thoughts in our minds corrode our souls
Our homes are surrounded by shimmering air
Cities are deserted but crowded by flames
Our world of past times lost its reality
Like a painting falling into water
Mother earth is closing her eyes
These eyes of ash
Stars are falling from the blood red sky
Crushing the earth, setting all its roots on fire
Dispelling our illusion of an immortal world we control
Preparing for a new beginning
What used to be the deep blue sky
Now lightens up the woods in crimson red
Stars are falling from the blood red sky
Crushing the earth, setting all its roots on fire
Dispelling our illusion of an immortal world we control
Preparing for a new beginning
The stars that used to be my life
Have now they turned into my death?
For the last time I'm looking up to the stars
Will this really be the end?
