Omega

FADE 
INTO NOTHING 
CITIES DECAY 
THE GRIEF 
AND SICKNESS 
IS BURIED 
SINK INTO THE TREES 
THE AGE [bad word] IS OVER AND WE REVEL 
SYMMETRY RETURNS 
FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA 

NIGHTMARES DRIFT BACK 
DOWN THAT RIVER OF TIME 
TO THE DAWN OF MAN 
AND I WONDER WHAT WENT WRONG 

THEIR SOULS GLEAMED / HEARTS OF GOLD 
THEIR HANDS [bad word] / SOULS OF COAL 
THAT SPARK OF LIGHT 
IN THEIR EYES WAS [bad word] 

SKY OF FIRE 
WARMS OUR NEW DAWN 
AND THE KINGDOM SWAYS 
OUR SOVEREIGN WORLD 
MAN IS ALL BUT FORGOTTEN 

AND WE LIVE 
TOGETHER AS ONE 
UNTIL THAT BRIGHT STAR FADES 
FROM ORANGE TO RED TO WHITE 
AND WE RETURN HOME 
TO THE STARDUST 

DREAMS DRIFT AHEAD 
UP THAT RIVER OF TIME 
TO THE END OF ALL 
AND I WONDER WHAT WHERE WE'LL GO 

OUR LIGHTS DIM / BODIES TO DUST 
MASS COLLIDES / EVENT HORIZON 
THAT SPARK OF LIGHT 
IN THE END IS [bad word] 

WAY DOWN I REMEMBER THE WAY IT IS ALWAYS BEEN 
WAY DOWN I REMEMBER MY PLACE IN THE STARS WAS BLACK 
WAY DOWN I REMEMBER HOW IT ALL BEGAN 
WAY DOWN I REMEMBER THAT LONE SINGULAR BLACK MASS
