Microcosmic Beings, Part Two

We awaken from a shattered dream In the dust where darkness streams Fragments rise from cosmic ashes Our fleeting lives, in silence crashes In endless void, we seek to find A meaning lost, a truth confined Yet all we are, and all we know Is swallowed by the stars cold glow Microcosmic beings, we fade, we rise Lost in the depths of endless skies Bound by the void, where time is none Our journey ends before it's begun In fractures light, we seek to grow But all we touch begins to slow The dust we are, the dust we'll be A fleeting spark, a fractured plea The cycle turns, a hollow breath We live in life, but die in death No escape, no place to run In cosmic void, we are undone Microcosmic beings, we fade, we rise Lost in the depths of endless skies Bound by the void, where time is none Our journey ends before it's begun A moment's hope, a distant flame A shattered whisper calls our name But in the dark, we fade away Lost in the night, with no more to say We spiral down, we spiral in The stars themselves begin to dim No salvation, no relief Only decay and silent grief Microcosmic beings, we fade, we rise Lost in the depths of endless skies Bound by the void, where time is none Our journey ends before it's begun A spark once lit, now fades to black The weight of time, we can't turn back Our bones are dust, our will erased In timeless night, we are displaced Yet still we yearn, yet still we try To reach the stars, to touch the sky But all that's left is silence loud Our spirits lost beneath the shroud
