The Eternal Call
by Vials of Wrath

Album: Ataraxia 1 & 2

I am addicted
To the drug of nostalgia
Constantly wanting
that which
I'll never have enough of again

Time' once a friend
You are a thief betraying all
Always fleeting, yet deathless
Time' no beginning nor end
Ephemeral in your eternal call

I am afflicted
By euphoric remembrances
Bittersweet events
Bygone, there is a longing
Recalled with both joy
And pain

Time' once a friend
You are a thief betraying all
Always fleeting, yet deathless
Time' no beginning nor end
Ephemeral in your eternal call

Each day feels destined
To be a coffin nail
Each breath drawing closer
To dust, and with wisdom
Knowledge of the coming pale
What does tomorrow hold?
Uncertainty you certainly bring
For I at least know the words
Of yesterday's songs to sing
But what of today?
Is it no more than yesterday's morrow?
Let me not dwell on these things
For today is sufficient in its own sorrows

Would that I not lay waste
To this precious gift
This present
What more could I do?
Who could I become?
Time, like tides, cleanses
May I embrace the waves
May I embrace the waves
