Vanitas Lyrics by Revocation

The Outer Ones

2018

[Verse 1]
Searching for meaning, grasping at straws
The unanswered question always remains
Is the grave but a doorway to everlasting life
Or shall we return to dust from whence we came?

[Pre-Chorus]
Inverted hourglass
The sifting sands of fate
Haunted by mortality
Shackled to its weight

[Chorus]
Skeletal hands
Forever ticking on coffin-shaped clocks
In realms of infinite death
Grave upon grave
Embracing the void as the light fades away
Bring me eternal rest

[Verse 2]
Ephemeral pleasures of this earthly domain
Futile is the flesh in this cycle of death and decay

[Pre-Chorus]
Inverted hourglass
The sifting sands of fate
Haunted by mortality
Shackled to its weight

[Chorus]
Skeletal hands
Forever ticking on coffin-shaped clocks
In realms of infinite death
Grave upon grave
Embracing the void as the light fades away
Bring me eternal rest

[Verse 3]
Oh, the death knell tolls for thee
Enshrouded by darkness in dreamless sleep
Crossing the threshold into the land of the deceased
Joined together eternally

[Bridge]
Consumed by unrelenting visions of the end
Desiring to be one with the beckoning dead

[Solo: Davidson]

[Outro]
Omnia Vanitas
Omnia Vanitas
