The Path of No Return Lyrics

The endless road never traveled
In the furthest horizon beyond the hills
Through forests and trails of mist and flame
In darkness and in death the cryptic path

What shall become of this fate?
Which knows not truth from lies?
Where shall reason meet its end?
Or has it already done so?

A long way to the netherworld
Though closer than before it seems to be
And in this one life we get
Shall we withstand this whitewashed tomb before us?

This is it my friend
The path of no return
The road we all must travel
That same crypt we all descend to

A road of endless pain and pointless laborsome toil
A path that meets no purpose a journey of no destination
Living but never feeling alive, dead but not being dead
A pursuit we all must embark until we meet the end

The path of no return
Here it is at last
The road to perdition
The end of all life

Bleeding in endless misery
Death and damnation is all that awaits
Enduring the emptiness of a pious life
Enduring the hopelessness of an impious life
Damned if I do and damned if I don't
All meet this same path of death
The empty graves soon to be filled
Calling forth our long lost names

The path of no return
The road we all must travel
In this course called life
The greatest gift we're given, but the most miserable one too
