Cracks in the Pyre

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
