Serenity - Rust Of Coming Ages lyrics

rate me

Behind the artifacts of old<br />

You never saw their virgin glance<br />

Held in creating hands unknown<br />

Exposed to oxidation, slow disintegration leaving trace<br />

(Corroding for all days)<br />

<br />

[Bridge:]<br />

Anything shining bright today<br />

Will undergo this certain decay<br />

<br />

[Chorus:]<br />

How many ages have to come and go until we know<br />

All we create has to fade<br />

When the never still assembly line subsides to shine<br />

What will remain<br />

<br />

Now it is the same old tale again<br />

The egoistic fail to see it's not their private history<br />

Once caught by this seduction<br />

Follows destruction of our world (and millions lie unheard)<br />

<br />

[Bridge:]<br />

Anything breathing light today<br />

Will undergo this certain decay<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

No machinery (we pave)<br />

And no HDD (our way)<br />

Was ever built to spin eternally (liquid crystal dismay)<br />

In the tombs of stone (beyond)<br />

Any servant drone (below)<br />

Is just a remnant found beneath the bone<br />

<br />

[Chorus]
