Departure

So, here I am now at the end...
A long way I have come - now it's over

Rapidly the moments flee,
On times' shore I've stranded
I perish here beside the sea and return my soul to eternity
Through the shades of ages past the hands of doom
They grasp to erase once more my silent breath,
The warmth of material life

(I deny all that I've done
Memories, I condemn)

Joy of life forgotten
The core of my soul now rotten

[So, this is how it ends
I always wonder
Lovely seem the tonight
I want to go there]

Here I am at the edge of the world
Poised on the shore of the cosmic ocean...

Out of the light the voices spring, whispering my name,
Am I now to be _erased_ or dwell outthere forever?

Joy of life forgotten
The core of my soul now rotten
