Track 11 / Acceptance

In Our Years of Wandering

The emotional climax: mortality gives meaning, and love survives as memory.

Lyrics Manuscript

[Intro: Male Vocals] Aeternus In aeternum Perditi Perditionem Aeternus In aeternum Perditi Perditionem [Verse 1: Male Vocals] How long have I been alive? Death after death How many has it been? I'm out of years I'm out of days I'm out of time So many lives that I've lived If there is a God He's cruel Watching it all fade Watching it all fade They say that I am blessed But how can it be? Watching it all fade Watching it all fade How long must I bear the curse? Watching it all fade Watching it all fade Another loved one claimed by the earth Watching it all fade Watching it all fade When will it end? [Verse 2: Female Vocals] I know that I'm still young But I can feel the end is close How many days How many months? It's closing in I see the fear in your eyes You're not ready to let go My body withers My body rots You will carry on [Pre-Chorus: Male and Female Vocals] Don't say it Don't say it Please don't say it Please don't say it I'm not ready I can't take it It's not fair I can't take it You will live on It's not fair You will live on Without me Without me You will live on You will live on Without me [Chorus: Male Vocals] I've seen the sun rise The moon falls so many times In our years of wandering I've seen the sunrise The moon falls so many times In our years of wandering [Verse 3: Female Vocals] We both know that time isn't fair But maybe it's better this way If it never ends It doesn't matter Nothing would ever matter We'd never love I was always meant to be yours And you were always meant to be mine You carry the stories of those you've lost You will carry me

What ends becomes sacred.
