[Lyric] That Which Is Left Behind (Aethereus)

As we emerged from the seemingly infinite halls
A sinister truth made itself known;
Life goes on without us
It cares not for that which it will leave behind

The essence of our memory
Forever etched into the alcoves of our minds
Is nothing. Though we cling to this skeletal bond
Flesh and blood will inevitably decay

Our rot nourishing enduring entities
Our existence wiped from all eternity
Scattered among fields of cosmic ash
In death, we become one with the totality of life;
One with all

Time is only lent for a fleeting moment
Eventually we must relinquish that which was given
We amass great quantities of energy
Solely to feed the cycle maintaining order
Only to continually be forced back into the cyclic rotation
Condemned to perpetual rebirth
Unrelenting futility
Life

Nothing will remain
Nothing will remain
Nothing will remain
Nothing will remain

Of this skeletal bond
Flesh and blood will always decay
Nourishing enduring entities
Wiped from all eternity

Scattered among fields of cosmic ash
Become one with all
Life goes on
It does not care for
That which was left behind
