The Great Cessation - YOB

Will we ever see a time

When it’s enough

When we see what we know

Isn’t all

Of all that is

Creating a world

Of broken hearts

Of tired eyes

Living in this shell

Like it was forever

Close your eyes

And let it go

Breathe in the space

Before you were born

Crashing waves

Grief and pain

Is washed away

Open to

The great cessation

Waves wash away

Memories

Wane and fade

Open to

The great cessation

Will we ever see a time

Without cause

When we see what we know

Never was

It never was

Churches

Altars, shrines

Caves in the heart

Within the womb

Raising our hands

To a sky without end

Watch the river pass by

Passive on the shore

Giving temptation

Space to explore

Dense guilt and guile

Gently put to rest

Reverberate through time

Lives pass on and pass on

The witness triumphant

The death of the deathless one
