Black Amber

from Vrag by Vrag

/

lyrics

Lost within the man-made forest
Which is the city and it has no heart
Waiting for the end to start,
Release us from a bleak existence

The scorching purges of extinction
Will fracture concrete bark
To weep black molten sap
Solidify to black amber

I looked into your eye and saw there
The world is at a bitter end
The waters of the flood have swelled
And swallowed up dry land

Uncounted years hence
Upon a nameless shore
A murky gemstone will hold
A vision of our dying world

Nostalgia, oblivion
Remember, I too lived
And of the end I dreamed
Each night like death, not sleep

You spoke to me, your voice
Like a song across the sea
What did you say to me?
It passed out of all knowing

Pale distance towards a forgotten dawn
Sealed in amber deep beneath the sea
See what distant eyes could see
The passage of their time turned stone

Amber – see the old forests
That stood uncounted years before our births
And the pale dawn that warmed our ancestors
Gleaming through the petrified trees – long-fallen

Gaze into the black amber
And witness desolation
The burning of the soul
And of so many cities

The future beckons nothing
But a sign of death to come
I turn towards the past
For hope and inspiration

Sadness in my final days here
In knowledge of having found a way
I wish you well, I have no remorse
Our paths will never cross again, again.
