Assemblage 23 Lyrics

In stillness

A silent weight

Pausing as the minutes each
evaporate



A desire

To leave a scar

To raise a voice
from within the dark



Decaying

Cascading

Existence
falls apart

Around me

Within me

So I must leave my mark



CHORUS 

This is a document

To prove that I was here

This is a document

To prove I was at all

And when my voice
ceases to be

Will the echo still ring loudly?

And when there's
nothing left of me

Will my memory still go on?



A flicker

Transitory state

An echo of an instance that burns a way



A moment

A shard of time

A solitary thread that threatens to
unwind



Decaying

Cascading

Existence falls apart

Around me

Within me

So I must leave my mark



(CH)



Distant

An approaching age

When this document falls
beneath another's gaze



Too late

We have lost the dawn

The signal's loud and clear, but the transmitter's gone



Decaying

Cascading

Existence falls apart

Around me

Within me

So I must leave my mark



(CHx2)
