about

How do we say goodbye to one who's passed on? Is it the release of a bird into the sky or is it the burning of their physical form to release their spirit towards the great beyond? Either way, we still feel their absence greatly and do everything to keep our memories of them alive.

But as great as memories are, we rarely look into life in full detail...with the exceptions of highest or lowest points. But those points are often described the same, like a flame. And much like life, fire is often flickering between warming and destructive. Yet still it burns, as much as it did ages ago when Prometheus brought it to mortal soil after stealing it from the gods.

lyrics

We couldn’t stay here forever
Even if its beauty stands
A paradise arose
As scary as it seemed then
It was once our home
Deteriorated long ago
The place which terrifies
Still seems to satisfy

Wherever you are
I hope you find the moonlight
The kindness others shown us
I miss when that was rife
Loss seems sad at first
Then brings odd yet sweet comfort
If death comes in this time
Earth will always be our hide

When will we say goodbye
To the conflicting well of souls
A luck that was thriving
Before it shook us to our bones
Some things we think never change
Behind our eyes will still solvate
So, if peace does not feel close
It will find us when needed most
