about

This is an interesting one! Really soft, really heavy. The phrase 'cult classic' comes to mind. ENJOY!!!

lyrics

Things of the world
Cloud our minds
With possessions of a lesser value
Sometimes they help us forget
Because we want to just forget
What truly matter
Because its easy
And we don't have the time

Guided by misguided ideas
Led down a road that would
Eventually tear us all apart
We'll forever sleep now
The darkness has consumed us whole

There is more than this life
But, at the same time
I do nothing to get me there
Just following distractions
Just making up excuses
What will become of me?
What will the future bring?

I can already see
The work becoming
Undone

So many things to think about
That's why we have these many days
But our days here are limited
Lets' not wait, not wait
Let's make due now.

Everlasting
Everlasting life
Everlasting light

I don't know it
I don't know that light
All we know right now is an
Instantly gratifying world.

Everlasting
Everlasting life
Everlasting light

We don't know much about that light
So I'll pray
We find out

"A Rose and an Amaranth blossomed side by side in a garden, and the Amaranth said to her neighbor, "How I envy you your beauty and your sweet scent! No wonder you are such a universal favorite." But the Rose replied with a shade of sadness in her voice, "Ah, my dear friend, I bloom but for a time: my petals soon wither and fall, and then I die. But your flowers never fade, even if they are cut; for they are everlasting."

So many things to think about
Thats why we have these many days
But our days here are limited
Let not wait, not wait
Let's make due now

Everlasting
Everlasting life
Everlasting light
