[Lyric] Cascades of Light (Aethereus)

Cease this senseless drawing of breath
You are wasting valuable time
Cease and rest easy;
Your light is growing dimmer

You have seen it, been bent under its might
And are now drowned in its absence
Pulled into the depths
Forever turned away from the Sun
Enveloped and pulled into the depths
Forever turned away from the Sun

It attempts to untether you from these gnarled roots
That desperately cling to an abject existence
Dismal and vacuous, feel the weight of
Impending nothingness as it collapses your lungs

We stand transfixed, unmoving in our collective disbelief
As the last light fades and your shadow lengthens
We see it now before us yet deny its truth;
Your light has faded
Cease this senseless drawing of breath
You are wasting valuable time
Cease and rest easy;
Your light is growing dimmer

You have seen it, been bent under its might
You have seen it, been bent under its might
And now drowned in its absence
Enveloped and pulled into the depths
Forever turned away from the Sun

It attempts to untether you from these gnarled roots
That desperately cling to an abject existence
Dismal and vacuous, feel the weight of
Impending nothingness as it collapses your lungs

The fire that died still burns on the inside
As cascades of light pour forth from your mouth
Piercing the night; a final declaration before your transcendence
The earth heaves from your final farewell
