Lunar Strain

In Flames

For there is a purpose and reason


Beyond all human apprehension


The shrieking silence in the blackness of space





For there is a knowledge more complex


Than life on this planet


A knowledge in tune with the progress of stars





Lunar strain





All across the milky way


Life suffers defeat


Life that once was treasured





What once was nothing


Has blossomed into form


Once it was I that was nothing


But now they say I will die





All across the galaxy


Life suffers defeat





Lunar strain





From nothingless to reality


As we see it


From nothingless to life


My dismal tears of anguish


Bleed into one with the songs of my heaven


Loneliness is pain





Emptiness is power, loneliness is pain


Serenity is might


Yet we shall be honoured


In the starforsaken night





Astral strain


All around my silent moon


Life suffers defeat





Astral strain





For there is a purpose and reason


Beyond all human apprehension


The shrieking silence in the blackness of space
