Why can't we hear
The time must come for us to leave here
Emotion has withered away

Out burnt out love has decayed

Obsessed to leave the earth

Tragedy has overrun since birth

Now our righteous fathers weep

As we greet eternal sleep
Are we born to pass away


Cry at all that remains
"Chosen words" fail to sustain
The wisdom of powers heard

In dismal thoughts seemingly absurd

Now as hope and glory dies

We'll scream at our demise
Are we lost forever more


Now our righteous fathers weep
As we greet eternal sleep
Are we born to pass away
