Of Stars and Smoke

This monumental sleep With the sunrise at my feet Where's the altar of the gods, the wrath and the floods? All is in vain Of stars and of smoke I am Of shade and of light With dragons in every hand I'm vading through life From nothing I came before, to nothing I go I heard that the wise man said: "From presence to silence...we flow" Of stars and smoke... The rainbows in the sky Soon their colours die I see the birds of prey They've been circling here all day It's always the same We live the eternal dream The big and cosmic scheme A part that we all play To stand the last of days It's all just a game Of stars and of smoke I am Of shade and of light With dragons in every hand I'm fading through life From nothing I came before, to nothing I go I heard that the wise man said: "From presence to silence...we flow"
