Garden Of Shadows - Continuum lyrics

The astral bodies Assembled as one At the call of irrevocable fate The celestial gathering Once more sent forth In a brilliant volley of flame Forging new paths Along the worn landscape of eternity Millions of years are but seconds In the continuum of forever Fallen leaves crumble into dust Fade into the mausoleum Of memories forgotten We have grasped at the cosmic puzzle laid before us Impatient newborns surrounded by dignified giants The scope of our tears Would transform valleys into oceans A feeble attempt to clutch the fragment That lies forever beyond Each event shares with its sisters As all seasons overlap Spatial boundaries superimposed In the unfathomable and infinite Expanse of time Eons of stone dissolve as we wither Leaving no trace of existence Cracks on the faded canvas of history That languishes alone A divine ceremony commencing all Walks upon the frayed path of destruction And the annihilation watches enviously Awaiting its turn once more The weight of centuries Impedes our steps Towards the precipice of eternity As we succumb to unchanging forces of attraction Our attempts to manipulate the tempest prove unsound Yet we trudge onward Rolling our ponderous cargo before us Until time and space caress each other once more A new chapter forever unfolds Before the vacant theater of the stars... Luminous vapor, shining haze Invisible yet ever-present Slowly slips into the past Along the continuum of forever
