The Ruins of Fading Light - Crypt Sermon

Gather at my feet innocent children

These warnings I beg you to take heed

Lean in close as I whisper, ya know…

These secrets that the devils tried to keep

Life is just a foolish game, oh child

We play by the rules just to go another round

We cry when we lose and say the rules seem so unkind

And love is the prize for the fool who has followed the rules when death dons

his crown

Now here’s another secret to remember

I read it in the writings on the wall

There’s a whisper of truth in everything

There is bitterness in the lies your father told

It may be revealed for only a moment and quickly it fades away

Like dewdrops on the spider’s web before the morning gold

Raise your hands, lift up high your voice

Death is sure, so in life rejoice

Hell is all around, heaven is just a dream

Unleash yourself from this mortal coil and be redeemed

O!

life is a losing game

Try and fail, laugh and wail, up and down, and around and around

And we cry when we lose and they say the rules seem so unkind

And love will burn away at the dawn of the day

When there’s nothing to say

Cause' you’re dead in the ground

Our corpses, our vessels

Our spirits will alight

Naked and nervous

In the ruins of fading light

In flesh epistles

The meaning will arise

No heaven, just hell

In the ruins of fading light

We die

Our corpses, our vessels

Our spirits will alight

Naked and nervous

In the ruins of fading light

In flesh epistles

The meaning will arise

No heaven, just hell

In the ruins of fading light

Corpses, flesh vessels

Our spirits will take flight

No heaven, just hell

The ruins of fading light

These flesh epistles

Have you searched for the truth to arrive?

There’s no heaven

In the ruins of fading light we die
