lyrics

A Flicker of Light (Magnus E. Vassbotn/ Trygve E. Vassbotn)

Lying awake, wide open eyes,
reality haunts the mind
The frailness of life, a flicker of light,
briefly defying the night
All of my deeds, all of my dreams,
will one day return to dust
Torn from existence, forgotten and lost,
like nothing was ever there

The fear
of being no more
Forever
gone
Lost
in aeons of time
One day
nothing will be

No guiding hand, no masterplan,
a flip of a coin is all
An innocent soul, ripped from this life,
never given the chance
The worthless persist, wasting it all,
never seizing the chance
Fading away, until it's too late,
bitter for what could have been

No fate,
no meaning at all
Live or die
by the roll of the dice
Resigned
from the folly of youth
I face
the oncoming night

Fade away
Never rise again
No beyond

Sensing the edge
creeping closer
The blade of nothing
cannot be recalled

I refuse
to let it go to waste

I came here alone, I'll leave here alone,
a journey from nothing to nothing
A pinprick in time, this everything of mine,
all that has been and will be
I'll forge my own path, while I still am,
not waste another day
My flesh will decay, my mark shall remain,
transcend the boundaries of time

Free
from fear of nothing
I cast
these shackles away
And reach
for aeons of time
Reborn
by tomorrows minds
