As ships adrift in the sea of sorrow As flags torn in the winds of pain For how long will I feel hollow Like cold dust drifting in vain? We rise and fall, as light withdraws As a fading Sun we lie As if darkness fell from the sky We, the kings, reigning over nothing Dying candles, flames in the wind It all comes down to this: A spark in nothingness A drop of sorrow in the desert of grief We rise and fall, as light withdraws As a fading Sun we lie As if darkness fell from the sky There are only shadows in our souls
