We come into the world naked and alone
They know when we’ll come, but no one knows when we’ll go
We’ve come to an alien world
They can’t understand me, I can’t understand them
It’s me and them, them and me
We’re what’s called a family
They chose me, I didn’t choose them
What do they want from me? What can I give?
It’s like that sometimes
We live in a world of mystery
We come from the ground, and to the ground we must return
We’re born, we become something
Become something until we’re not
Only legacy remains, to the ground we must go to rot
We are something, we are someone
We’re something until we’re not
The body dies, memory fades
We’re someone until we’re not
The world moves on
Crawls forever onwards
Our legacy remains, but memory fades
Eventually we are no more

Pain Ends
In my heart of hearts I knew it was over
Over before we had begun
We had lost another battle
In a war we never could’ve won
We held out hope
Believing in something, anything, nothing
We were foolish and naive
Believing there was something to fight for or someone
In my heart of hearts I knew it was over
Over before we had begun
We had lost another battle
In a war we never could’ve won
We rode to the battlefield
Woefully unprepared
We thought we could find comfort
Somewhere, over there, nowhere
In my heart of hearts I knew it was over
Over before we had begun
We had lost another battle
In a war we never could’ve won
We were hopeful and hoping
Waiting for a hero
Wishing upon a falling star
Holding out for any semblance of hope
In my heart of hearts I knew it was over
Over before we had begun
We had lost another battle
In a war we never could’ve won
Hope dies, good will fades
The hero never came, the wish did not come true
The outlook was grim, grim as can be, blue
The sky was red with blood, the sun weeped
In my heart of hearts I knew it was over
Over before we had begun
We had lost another battle
In a war we never could’ve won
Hope dies, pain ends
The moon falls out of the sky
Hope dies, love fades
The end is nigh
Hope dies, pain ends
The sun cries out
Hope dies, love fades
The end is come
It was over before we had begun
It had been meaningless from the start
Hope dies, pain ends, love fades
We are done
