The Secret

How I want to tell You

Of man and god

Still we pray and send him up

A fallen lie

I find I'm looking back to

Days gone by

To a time before every day

Was night

You cannot live forever

My time is now

The gold You seek to gather

Is mine to own

The secret

Still living

Has fallen into foreign hands

Deciding every day You live

And so humanity will fall

Before our eyes

Too sundered to remember

The ancient rites

Oh, have I lived to see

The end of time

The prayer that dies with my last breath

Is only mine

You cannot live forever

My time is now

Although You stay together

You die alone

Still breathing

Still seething

The mournful eye upon Your face

Follow me to Your dying day
