Death's Address

Carry on, the final torch
Carry off, your bravest heroes
Look, at the world you scorched
Look, you killed your foes
Break the earth
Cry out your sorrows
Lay claim to your rebirth
Seek out time that you can’t borrow

Carry on and seek the void
Carry on your victors chant
Look, at what you destroyed
Look, to me you’re all just ants
Your graves with no headstones
My garden sowed with bones
