World goes on unchanged

Verse

Before the sun learned how to rise

Before the gods had names or eyes

There was a wound where worlds were torn

And from that wound was mankind born

Chorus

We were never meant to remain

We are the forgetting of names

Stone eats song, night eats flame

The world goes on, unchanged

The world goes on, unchanged

Verse

We are not good, we are not saved

We are the debt the void once gave

Flesh is borrowed, breath is brief

The heart beats loud with ancient grief

Chorus

We were never meant to remain

We are the forgetting of names

Stone eats song, night eats flame

The world goes on, unchanged

The world goes on, unchanged

Verse

I’ve heard the earth beneath my feet

It knows our bones, it knows our meat

It waits in calm, it does not hate

For all must kneel to equal weigh

Bridge

When my name rots, when songs are done

When even gods at last are none

Let it be said I did not flee

I faced the end that faced me

Chorus

We were never meant to remain

We are the forgetting of names

Stone eats song, night eats flame

The world goes on, unchanged

The world goes on, unchanged
