If Eternity Should Fail Songtext / Lyric

Here is the soul of a man

Here in this place for the taking

Clothen in white

Stand in the light

Here is the soul of a man



Time to speak with the shaman again

Conjure the jester again

Black dog in the ruins is howling my name

So here is the soul of a man



When the world was virgin

Before the coming of man

Just a solemn witness

The beginning of the end



From a world of magma

To a cold rock face

The ascent of madness

And the human race






We are strange believers

All of us

There are stranger truths

In molten rust



We rise from slumber

It calls our name

Recalls our number

how bad we come



Reefing a sail on the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail



Reefing a sail on the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail



To God's illusion

Which I recall

Was our delusion

Before the fall



The angels come

And angels go

But the lord of light

Shining below



Eternal blackness

Beyond the stars

We think our wisdom

Will get that far



At the master's table

The table's bare

No line of plenty

Devastation, despair



Reefing a sail on the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail



Reefing a sail on the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail



Reefing a sail on the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of your time

If eternity should fail



Reefing a sail on the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending your time

If eternity should fail



Reefing a sail on the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail



Reefing a sail on the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail



Good day

My name is necropolis

I am formed of the dead

I am the harvester of the soul

And I suck the lives from my bed



I own two sons, I gave them breath

And I fill their living corpses with my bile

What humanity I knew I have long forgotten



For me, eternity is nothing but a short while
