lyrics

Preserve the past
Embalm the future
No more good
Can ever come

Conserve what we have
No more shall we
Ever evolve

What is the past?
All once was dangerous
Your story
Was once their future
Their story
Once changed the past
Your law
Is not as old as time

Aurë entuluva (Day shall come again)
Utúlie'n aurë (The day has come)

Night is passing
Day is near
Sun is coming, change is here

Your immortality is no victory
And vacuumed out black space your reality
Externalize energy, flesh transferred to the fetish
Grey insect day equilibrium
Homo-stasis erased this feast
Sweet death of legends begetted
Meat rots and mead goes sour
We have passed the noon hour
Children are growing, sprouts will bear fruit
If we let them flower
Let's not mummify the forests
The trees is canonized, but bears no new seeds
New myths are needed
Yes, kings see epic lives, but so do simple men
Everyone writes their own story
But few know that they hold the pen
