Longing Is All That Will Remain - Woe

Let those who wake despair upon the night

For through it all they loved has turned to gray

Like the ever-fading memories of all we hoped be

In an instant lost to waters deep forever more to keep

This loss pervades the spirit

A spectre of doubt in every breath

A second from failure

A lifetime of doubt

Confident in the permanence of the moment

Trusting in the encouragement of actuality

But all we have will one day slip away as the past tense replaces the present

Time slips right through our grasp

And laughs as it leaves

Singing with triumphant might

«The way things are is not how they shall be.

On trust this fact.»

This is a light in the sky that blinds those who foolishly look

This knowledge corrupts us

Let those condemned with life confess this sin: they believe that truth is

lasting

But every truth must one day turn to dust

Must only self-destruction be reality?

This loss envelops the being

For every hope is fleeting

A second from failure

A lifetime of doubt

In this I trust: all things will fade but longing

All we have will one day pass

And laugh as it leaves

Singing with triumphant might

«All roads lead to me and nothing escapes my grasp.

One day, you will succumb.»
