Dead Empire
Chronicles of a Fading World
Lyrics
Standing in line as the clock ticks away
Waiting in line as time passes
You watch the only world you know
Observing the familiar world
Never would've thought that you'd be here for so long
Unexpectedly enduring a prolonged situation
Just waiting for it all to end
Awaiting the conclusion of everything
That's life… life in the grey
Life experienced in monotony and uncertainty
You're time it slips away
The inevitable passage of one's existence
Imprisoned behind a wall that you've built
Confined behind a self-constructed barrier
You've hidden far away from site
Keeping oneself hidden away
Desperate to find a way to escape
Seeking desperately for an escape
And leave this place
Yearning to leave the current situation
That's life… life in the grey
Life characterized by ambiguity
You're time it slips away
Time steadily slipping away
Deep down below the ground
Existence submerged beneath the surface
You may never surface now
Possibility of never resurfacing
Drifting around through this endless array
Wandering through an endless and varied array
Of colors that could give you sight
Colors that could bring clarity
Twisting the light that's now darkened the sky
Distortion of light darkening the sky
The black and never ending night
A metaphorical black and endless night
That's life… life in the grey
Life lived in uncertainty and monotony
You're time it slips away
The inexorable passage of time
Deep down below the ground
Existence hidden below the surface
You may never surface now
Possibility of never emerging again
