Oblivion
OBLIVION
Lyrics by Ryan Lucas
In the end, everything crumbles
Given time, all brilliance fades
Although we try not to surrender
There is no escape
How many great civilizations
Have come and gone without a trace
And what remains of their achievements
That time won’t erase?
When all is said and done
There’s just oblivion
Are we victims of superstition
Seeking nirvana in vain
Or just the dregs of former glory
Circling around the drain?
Optimists hope things will get better
Nightfall leads to a new dawn
Until the end brings dissolution
And no one mourns when they’re gone
When all is said and done
There’s just oblivion
Straight is the way
And narrow is the gate
But no one sees the end
Before it’s far too late
When all is said and done
There’s just oblivion
