Time’s Desire Lyrics by Tooth and Claw

Dream of Ascension

2021

An endless quest for fulfillment
For deathless peace
The future whispers to you of permanence
Your throne atop the peak
From there you’ll gleam in attainment
A legacy riddled with fear
Shadows encroaching
The sun, indifferent
Recedes
Like stone that can’t be moved (unmoved)
Like the past that will not change (unchanged)
Yet suffering renews (Suffering renews)
Like consciousness yields pain
A wearied pursuit of the infinite
In mortal chains
Wretched fiends of orgiastic absolution from
The burden of a name
Fifteen minutes
Thirteen seconds
Fleeting decades in the sun
Fame and love fade like empires
Conquerors
Chosen ones
Too are crushed beneath that stone
None exempt from time’s desire
Rejoice as it all
Expires
“All the tragedies which we can imagine
In the end return to the one and only tragedy:
The passage of time”
– Simone Weil
