[length: 07:47]
[00:20.30]Here is the soul of a man
[00:25.89]Here in this place for the taking
[00:31.56]Clothen in white
[00:33.69]Stand in the light
[00:36.47]Here is the soul of a man
[01:07.32]Time to speak with the shaman again
[01:13.92]Conjure the jester again
[01:20.07]Black dog in the ruins is howling my name
[01:25.76]So here is the soul of a man
[01:47.14]When the world was virgin
[01:48.96]Before the coming of man
[01:50.71]Just a solemn witness
[01:52.86]The beginning of the end
[01:55.08]From a world of magma
[01:57.06]To a cold rock face
[01:58.95]The ascent of madness
[02:00.93]And the human race
[02:09.95]We are strange believers
[02:11.80]All of us
[02:13.98]There are stranger truths
[02:15.64]In molten rust
[02:17.49]We rise from slumber
[02:19.53]It calls our name
[02:21.49]Recalls our number
[02:23.12]How bad we come
[02:38.96]Reefing a sail on the edge of the world
[02:42.15]If eternity should fail
[02:46.26]Waiting in line for the ending of time
[02:49.22]If eternity should fail
[02:53.35]Reefing a sail on the edge of the world
[02:56.53]If eternity should fail
[03:00.52]Waiting in line for the ending of time
[03:03.84]If eternity should fail
[03:15.80]To God’s illusion
[03:17.60]Which I recall
[03:19.31]Was our delusion
[03:21.42]Before the fall
[03:23.33]The angels come
[03:25.09]And angels go
[03:26.88]But the lord of light
[03:28.77]Shining below
[03:37.75]Eternal blackness
[03:39.50]Beyond the stars
[03:41.63]We think our wisdom
[03:43.44]Will get that far
[03:45.56]At the master’s table
[03:47.49]The table’s bare
[03:49.18]No line of plenty
[03:50.90]Devastation, despair
[04:06.69]Reefing a sail on the edge of the world
[04:09.56]If eternity should fail
[04:13.74]Waiting in line for the ending of time
[04:16.79]If eternity should fail
[04:20.89]Reefing a sail on the edge of the world
[04:23.83]If eternity should fail
[04:27.80]Waiting in line for the ending of time
[04:30.86]If eternity should fail
[05:48.29]Reefing a sail on the edge of the world
[05:51.27]If eternity should fail
[05:55.49]Waiting in line for the ending of your time
[05:58.54]If eternity should fail
[06:02.50]Reefing a sail on the edge of the world
[06:05.41]If eternity should fail
[06:09.49]Waiting in line for the ending your time
[06:12.11]If eternity should fail
[06:16.62]Reefing a sail on the edge of the world
[06:19.60]If eternity should fail
[06:23.33]Waiting in line for the ending of time
[06:26.65]If eternity should fail
[06:30.60]Reefing a sail on the edge of the world
[06:33.62]If eternity should fail
[06:37.62]Waiting in line for the ending of time
[06:40.85]If eternity should fail
[07:00.92]Good day
[07:04.16]My name is necropolis
[07:07.20]I am formed of the dead
[07:10.69]I am the harvester of the soul
[07:14.35]And I suck the lives from my bed
[07:21.38]I own two sons, I gave them breath
[07:25.49]And I fill their living corpses with my bile
[07:32.45]What humanity I knew I have long forgotten
[07:37.94]For me, eternity is nothing but a short while
