Day's End

Will the sun ever set?
Will the moon ever rise?
Will we ever see death -
Or will we always survive?
Will we ever defeat,
Will this continue through time?
Are we ever to rest,
Or doomed never to die?

Time is a wheel,
A trap you cannot escape,
A never-ending ordeal
Set in stone by your fate.
You cannot find a way out,
There’s no choice but to wait
For an end that is real,
Or a destruction of hate.


When life is forever,
The road is too long,
The journey’s bitter and hard
And will wear down the strong.
Will we ever return
To the first key of our song;
Will we ever come home
To the place we belong?

Time can’t delay
What events come to pass;
Two threads run astray,
Come together at last.
When two paths collide
Then Time will fly fast,
Then your moment will come.
Then your ending will pass.


The mind is soon weak
When the body grows old,
Then the future looks bleak
As the stories are told.
Then the future looks black
And the fire runs cold,
But at last we come back
And our future unfolds.

When the Time becomes ripe,
No more are you doomed.
You’re released from this life,
You go on to your tomb.


We’re released from the struggles,
Our task here is done,
Now our adventure begins -

…for our battle is won.
