Signs Of Life

Like the last of dying autumn
When the leaves, they fall like coloured rain
I await the shock of winter
All I know will be frozen again

I will watch the sky for fire
For the sign in the night that they have come
All around the world we'll shiver
As the hungry devour the sun

Alone is the heart that wanders
But it sees with eternal eyes
Signs of life

It's been kept for a hundred millennia
The secret -- the promise that they'd return
From a place that sleeps in the universe
Where the wheel of creation still turns

There are beings that walk among us
And they carry the knowledge of far away
And I'm haunted by more than the memories
I still hear every word that they say

Alone is the heart that wanders
But it knows with an infinite mind
Signs of life

One alone stands still
As planets shatter
Sees -- feels it all fall again
And nothing matters
It's death and it's life for all
It's now or never
Rise, fly high, crash down
Forever and ever

Skies of eternity hear my cries
But I can't break free
Alone in the universe
Take my soul -- abate this curse
