Silent forests, once my beloved homeland The dead trees and the dried lakes sing their songs no more Silent streets, no cheering crowd to greet my arrival And only ashes where once stood my home
Curse you ghosts of dawn, why do you haunt me so You don't belong with the living I am alive! My body broken and my mind shattered But I'm still alive
The distant stars look down upon me The remnants of my soul laid bare under their glare I'm the last of my line, the last of mankind Just a bitter old man, yearning for peace
"Why was I the one to survive? I was no different from them, no different in the end As years passed me by, I watched the world grow old with me"
Silent shore, covered in poisonous mist The dense fog like a suffocating shroud over this land Silent waters, dead bodies washed ashore And wrecked ships as far as the eye can see
Curse you ghosts of dawn, why do you haunt me so You don't belong with the living I am alive! My body broken and my mind shattered But I'm still alive
The great bird flew back to my side Rested its tired wings on my heavy shoulders Wounded, suffering, entwined with my pain The bird cried with me, and turned into ash
As the storm gathers and approaches me I close my fist around the ashes of my hope I watch the oceans rise and swallow the world The end has finally come and the world will drown
"As I sit here by the ocean, I welcome the waves that will cleanse this world My heart will soon find peace as my body is embraced by the sea Long have I waited, long have I fought this neverending battle All will be over at last"
