Cracks in the Pyre Lyrics
Cracks in the Pyre - Conjurer
Lyrics by：Jan Krause
Composed by：Jan Krause
Life drifts by
Seamless tides once benign
Do nought but torment and remind
And although I may try to picture you on 'the other side'
Your grace remains just out of sight
I'm denied
The end is pure unfettered silence
No calm nor chaos
Regression to nothing
The knowing that once helped me feel alive
Fills me with spite for those who believe
You're more than my memories while we're
Stranded helpless abandoned
Ripped from our norm: the tranquil the serene
Now waves threaten the precipice where I stand
Searching for peace in that hateful abyss as my
Life drifts away
Where in science or spirit does solace reside
For I might leave both those shelters behind
Would I sully your memory
With a weary trudge from the shore
Am I ceding your bones to the brine
To return to an empty shrine
Yet I'd stand at that mound
Talk my own time away
If you know there's no soul
Should you cherish earth and bone
I see light up ahead
Through the cracks in the pyre
It will never reach you
