lyrics

In darkness I lie,
Staring at an endless sky.
My thoughts transcending this earth,
Rising towards the infinite void.

I wonder alone,
About the stars.
The small lights,
That brighten the night sky.

Yet are so numerous,
So large, that, compared to them,
We are but a grain of sand to an ocean.

I wonder alone,
About the silence.
The emptiness of these places.
Devoid of life, hopelessly barren,

More fearsome than death is absence.
The absence of anything.
Is this what awaits us?

Back on this earth, I shiver.
I close my eyes, and turn my thoughts away.

Nothingness was never meant
To be comprehended
By any living thing upon this earth.
