Destined to Return Lyrics

Forever silent, unmoving refined
an elegant tribute in marble
The noose tied to the being divine
tethered to the mortal

Long after the names go unspoken
the stone garden blooms
Once again the soil is broken
omnipresent - the specter that looms

Amethyst chases crimson
along with blurring vision
Strangled with cruel indifference
by time's relentless hands

Amethyst and crimson
striking with precision
Dragged into mortality
by time's unshaking hands

We are all destined
to return
to blackened soil
or ashes... burn

Tears of mourning are the tribute demanded
In the shadow of the garden of stone
Forgiving fictions are whispered in sorrow
Scorn the treason of speaking alone

Hereafter when names are mentioned
a grim finality will cut like a blade
The future - apprehension
into eternity the echoes will fade

No stone - can minimize the loss
No value - in the gold embossed

Forever silent unmoving refined
a tribute carved in grief
forever tied to the being divine
burdened beyond belief

Long after the ritual is over
the stone garden stays
Soil and spirit shall always be broken
that which blossoms must also decay
