Echoes of Forever

All is consumed by vanity

Whims of short lived mortality

Our desperate cries of pity

Are carried on winds for eternity

And lost in forgotten echoes... forever

The more that is known

The greater there is fear

It's worthless to question

It's useless to interfere

What has already been

Will come to pass again

An altering is hopeless

A chasing after the wind

Minutes pass to hours

Hours into years

The years of your life

Reflected in the mirror

The mirror only shows

The time that you can see

But how can time exist

Without eternity

Revelations of mankind fade away

Cries are lost, spray to the wind

In revolutions of the world

And echoes of forever

In an endless circle the sun hides from our sight

But as the circle is endless

It returns after the night

Nothing is new under the sun

As past and future become one

Though the tide retreats, perpetually from the shore

It always returns itself

As it has before

Everything is meaningless

Pure insignificance

The past always leaves us

But never to subside

Recollections of memory

And the future coincide

In thought dwell the mysteries

Eternally they reside

Forever is the circle

Forever are the tides
