lyrics

A freak of an accident
Anomaly, a fluke of nature
A random mutation
In a random time and place
A fleeting existence
Arbitrary, no one will remember
A desolate universe
That does not know your name

What will you say on your final day
When the stars call out your name
Why this cruel and pointless game
You can't explain

And your eyes see the light shining from afar
A speck of dust in space and time
Is it who we really are
Into nothingness we plunge our way
It's all meaningless if you have no faith
As you're basking in the light of a dying star
You're a witness to the death of a dying star

You're dead on arrival
Mere survival can't fulfill your thirst for life
It's all an illusion with no reason
With no rhyme
No beauty
No good and evil
Just blind and pitiless indifference
No ultimate one to whom we answer
Once we die

What will you say on the final day
When the judge calls out your name
The way you mocked
The way you scoffed
You can't explain

And your eyes see the light shining from afar
A speck of dust in space and time
Is it who we really are
Into nothingness we plunge our way
It's all meaningless if you have no faith
As you're basking in the light of a dying star
You're a witness to the death of a dying star

And my eyes see the light dying in your heart
Lonely flames in time and space
Is it who we really are
Into nothingness we plunge our way
It's all meaningless if you have no faith
As you're basking in the light of a dying star
You're a witness to the death of a dying star

In Memoriam
by Crowned in Sorrow

supported by 5 fans who also own “Dying Star”

Out of the wreckage brought upon by dual personal tragedies comes an outstanding album that is sorrowful and victorious. Once you listen to this a few times, it’s hard to want to listen to anything else for a while. This is my front runner for metal album of 2021, and perhaps even my overall AOTY. Metal Marc

Silver
by daygraves

supported by 4 fans who also own “Dying Star”

I picked this up a few years ago, at a time when I really needed an album like this. To this day it is still something that I love to play beginning to end and feel every second of it. Such a amazing expression of humbling yourself lyricwise mixed with the most unique style of Black Gaze I've ever heard. billyspears
