Hollow Decay - For What Purpose Lyrics

An endless cycle of continuality
Life weaves its course through the infinite stars
Grown from nothing, born from the dark horizon
And the morning wind blows them from the sky

A single blink and the cycle goes on
What then, is the spark reborn
Will darkness eventually grasp a hold and never let go
How different it could all be, was the answer known

Monuments rise, beacons of an age
All feel the decay
Their shadows grow ever shorter
Weathered into forgotten past
An end of dust

Like a sea of sparks, glowing with utmost ambition
Before the inevitable end
Will a bright star emerge from this crowded firmament
Or become lost amongst the waves with the rest of them

Just a speck in existence
The mind ponders if it's worth such effort
As even a light of such splendor, that once lost
Can only reach so far, for only so long

Monuments rise, beacons of an age
All feel the decay
Their shadows grow ever shorter
Weathered into forgotten past
An end of dust

Is there meaning to all that's left behind
A gift from the past
Here we are now
In this world carved out by the vanished

Monuments rise, beacons of an age
All feel the decay
Their shadows grow ever shorter
Weathered into forgotten past
An end of dust
