Dead Languages -

This time I leave it all behind

And when I leave there’s no return

The dying embers left of my grand designs

Over the shoulder watch them burn

Are we in this alone?

Miles away when you realize

He was one of your own

Speak in dead languages

Dream in dead languages

Think in dead languages

Scream in dead languages

Long gone this future not to be

I’ve given lifetimes for the name

The crumbling ruins of an eternity

In hindsight doesn’t look the same

Decades lost in the wind

I could swear this was yesterday

Or is that what I heard you say?

Speak in dead languages

Dream in dead languages

Think in dead languages

Scream in dead languages

I’ve outlived everything I’ve ever known

There’s no survivors where I’m from

I lie awake because I hear the tones

Waiting and listening for the sound that haunts me still

Speak in dead languages

Dream in dead languages

Think in dead languages

Scream in dead languages
