Ephemerality Songtext
von Orchid Throne

Why is it that people say
They′re not afraid
Afraid to die
When I'm terrified?
The prospect of a song unsung
So much to say
What could it be?
I may never find
Each day we dance atop a ledge
Yet we choose not to look down
But I have seen a fallen soul
Down from the clouds
He lays below


When your time arrives at last you find
A certainty within your crumbling mind
That light inside, just dying to let shine
Begins to fade
It always fades

All that you touch and all that you see
Fades in time like a memory

In time we′ll all be claimed
From the cradle to the grave
No one can outlast
Facing your final breath

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may

When your time arrives at last you find
A certainty within your crumbling mind
That light inside, just dying to let shine
Begins to fade
It always fades

All that you touch and all that you see
Fades away
