The monumental sleep With the sunrise at my feet Where's the altar of the gods, The wrath and the floods? All is in vain Of stars and of smoke I am Of shade and of light With dragons in every hand I'm fading through life From nothing I came before, To nothing I go I heard that wise man said: "From presence to silence...we flow" Of stars and smoke The rainbows in the sky Soon their colors die I see the birds of prey They've been circling here all day It's always the same Of stars and of smoke I am Of shade and of light With dragons in every hand I'm fading through life From nothing I came before, To nothing I go I heard that wise man said: "From presence to silence...we flow" We live the eternal dream The big and cosmic scheme A part that we all play To stand the last of days It's all just a game Of stars and of smoke I am Of shade and of light With dragons in every hand I'm fading through life From nothing I came before, To nothing I go I heard that the wise man said: "From presence to silence...we flow" Of stars and smoke
