Messiah at the end of time
A red, golden blaze sends a greeting through the sky
One land stands up from the lava
One man kneels and shouts why?
These are the times that stars explode
That no life remains a token
These are the hours of weeping
The times the gates of chaos open
From the eye of terror the heresy has come
The unfolding of the eldest plan of time
As one man carries all burden of life
He doesn’t understand this unwritten rhyme
“Why, why this failure, why this Golgotha?”
In burning pain he shouts the ancient line
“My god, my god why has thou forsaken me?”
Standing at the beginning of nothing
The messiah at the end of time
The shivering tension of the surface,
These are the days counted for as none
No-one feels the blood, red tears of Gaia
The end completes all that has begun
One rock stands as solid as night
The floating point in this endless stasis
The one, the only, bears all minds, all souls
He lurks, beholds, doesn’t understand this nemesis
Why, why this failure, why this Golgotha?”
In burning pain he shouts the ancient line
“My god, my god why has thou forsaken me?”
Standing at the beginning of nothing
The messiah at the end of time
Stars, holes, deep black infinity
The holding grasp of all that has been
Is now transforming in release
Into something that can’t be seen
The imploding waves paint the skies
As he looks up, now within him no doubt
The answers come, the silence roars
As he knows why, he fades out…
