8. When All Hope is Gone (9:45)
Now, in the afterglow
Time's running up for them
And nothing left to say and feel
When all is gone
All is lost and nothing's won
Shattered pieces everywhere
Shards of their empire of greed

And only hollow ruins left
Witness of their deeds, come see
Ignorant and decadent
Their lives are doomed to slowly fade
And rot in time until there's nothing left
Of them, no song remains

In the abyss, into the void
Over the edge, only white noise
Deep into the dark star

Follow me down, follow me down
Follow me down deep in the void
Swelling mass is swallowing
Gravity is devouring
Antimatter is destiny
In the end all is startdust and gone

All is light, but slowly fades
A small white dot in eternity
Repeat

Behold by stars, an other of them died
Just one of a billion lights
It does the same as all before
It eats your sins forevermore

Nothing will be saved or rescued
Nothing will remain
Nothing is what will be left
Nothing is the truth
Not a single grain of sand remains
In the tide of time

It's the end of the world
This is the end of all, the end of hope
The end of it all

And so now tell me what did you say
So tell me what makes you important?
Why do you believe that you are star
You are just one of a trillion
A germ in this world

Of course this life is all you have
And your time span keeps you safe
From the moment that will end
The universe and all within

A small dimension you call home
Way too much you just don't know
And if I am honest with you now
The only thing that's left for you
Is hope

Life is not over yet
Now in the afterglow...
